This candidate is Josh Shapiro, the Democratic governor of Pennsylvania. He was set to be the main speaker at three fundraising events but unexpectedly withdrew from all of them, as reported by The New York Times. This cancellation occurred just before Harris was anticipated to announce her choice for a running mate. According to The Times, Shapiro&#8217;s team tried to keep this news under wraps.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Shapiro explained that these changes were due to adjustments in the governor&#8217;s schedule. &#8220;The governor\u2019s trip was arranged weeks ago and included several fundraisers for his own campaign committee,&#8221; said Manuel Bonder, the spokesperson. &#8220;His schedule has changed, and he will no longer be traveling to the Hamptons this weekend.&#8221; It remains uncertain if these cancellations are related to Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Sources indicated that Shapiro &#8220;needed to be with his family in Pennsylvania,&#8221; which may have influenced his decision. He has long been considered one of the top contenders\u2014if not the leading one\u2014to join Harris on her ticket. NBC News noted that Shapiro has outperformed other Democrats in Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro could also appeal more effectively to moderate voters; NBC News reported that he had better support among Republicans in 2022 compared to most other Democrats. Regardless of whether he becomes part of Harris&#8217; ticket or not, he has publicly endorsed her presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Other potential Democratic candidates who might join Harris include Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, current Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear.<\/p>\n<p>No matter who she selects as her vice presidential candidate, Harris will still need to secure her position as the Democratic nominee at this year&#8217;s Democratic National Convention (DNC). President Joe Biden&#8217;s sudden withdrawal from the race last month complicated matters for Democrats even though Harris is still expected to be their nominee. As reported by Associated Press, there are discussions about implementing some form of competitive nomination process during DNC scheduled for August 19 in Chicago<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2317889,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Harris-VP-Front-Runner.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[32438,32603,36965],"class_list":["post-2317888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-kamala-harris","tag-political-news","tag-vp-front-runner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Harris-VP-Front-Runner.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2317888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2317888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2317888\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2317889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2317888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2317888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2317888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
