In the video, various speakers express their support for Shapiro as Harris&#8217;s running mate, stating, &#8220;We\u2019re getting behind Kamala Harris for president and Josh Shapiro for vice president.&#8221; The endorsement highlights Shapiro\u2019s pro-labor and progressive policies but only implies his selection towards the video&#8217;s conclusion. Some online commentators suggested that this might be an early leak intended to be released after an official announcement on Monday; however, it could simply advocate for Shapiro without confirming any decision. Notably, neither Harris nor the Democratic National Committee funded the video, which has been prominently displayed on Parker\u2019s X page since its release.<\/p>\n<p>In her post accompanying the video, Parker expressed pride in joining regional leaders to support both candidates: \u201cProud to be back with so many leaders from across our region supporting @KamalaHarris for President and @JoshShapiroPA for VP! We are One CITY, One REGION, and ONE Commonwealth United!\u201d The footage includes labor leaders rallying in favor of Shapiro as a vice presidential candidate and closely resembles a previous video released by Parker last week.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic strategist Walid Shahid clarified that this is not a leak but rather a compilation from a recent press conference where Pennsylvania elected officials were advocating for Shapiro&#8217;s selection. However, Philadelphia Magazine writer Ernest Owens claimed on X that the video indeed represents an internal leak causing significant buzz behind the scenes. As one of several frontrunners being considered by Harris for her running mate position, she is expected to announce her choice ahead of a joint rally in Philadelphia scheduled for Tuesday<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2653,"featured_media":2318458,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/harris-shapiro.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[37061,32438,37063,37062],"class_list":["post-2318457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-josh-shapiro","tag-kamala-harris","tag-philadelphia-mayor","tag-veep-pick"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/harris-shapiro.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2318457","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\/2653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2318457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2318457\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2318458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2318457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2318457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2318457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
