Josh Shapiro on Tim Walz

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has expressed his full support for Vice President Kamala Harris and her newly announced running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, despite being a finalist for the VP position himself. Shapiro emphasized his commitment to continue serving the people of Pennsylvania, stating that his work is 'far from finished'. He described the vetting process for the vice presidential role as deeply personal and highlighted his dedication to public service motivated by his family and faith. Meanwhile, leaders from the Jewish Democratic Council of America praised Walz as an exceptional choice, noting his strong ties with the Jewish community and commitment to combating antisemitism. They believe that Walz will be an asset in rallying support from Jewish American voters in the upcoming election. The political dynamics in Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, are significant as they have shown narrow support for Donald Trump in recent polls.
