Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has emerged as a leading contender for Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate in the 2024 presidential election, following President Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the race. Despite widespread speculation and support from numerous Democratic officials, Shapiro has repeatedly stated that the decision is a 'deeply personal' one for Harris and has not confirmed his interest in the role. Shapiro's moderate political stance and successful gubernatorial campaign against a Trump-backed candidate make him an appealing choice. He has emphasized his commitment to defeating former President Donald Trump and has maintained focus on his gubernatorial duties, including significant federal investments for Pennsylvania. Alongside Shapiro, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly is also considered a top candidate for the vice-presidential spot.
