Trump Campaign Manager Reveals Who Kamala Harris Will Likely Pick As Running Mate


Trump’s campaign manager, Chris LaCivita, has revealed that Kamala Harris will likely choose Governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate.

In a post on X, LaCivita wrote, “Reliable Sources confirm, Kamala To Pick Governor Shapiro from PA.”

The Harris campaign has already sent Shapiro vetting papers as a possible VP pick.

The Harris campaign has also sent vetting materials to Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Illinois Gov governor J.B. Pritzker, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

Per WTAE:

With Vice President Kamala Harris locking up enough support from Democratic delegates to earn the party’s presidential nomination, ABC News reports that Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is one of the top candidates to be Harris’ running mate.

A senior administration official told ABC News that Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly are the leading candidates.

The vetting process is just getting underway, but as a young, popular governor from a swing state, Shapiro may be an appealing choice to Democrats hoping to shore up support in 2024 battleground states, said political analyst Kristen Coopie, director of pre-law at Duquesne University.

When asked about the possibility of joining a ticket with Harris, Shapiro said, “I’m not going to engage in hypotheticals,” as he appeared at a Pittsburgh-area news conference to tout federal funding from the Environmental Protection Agency on Monday.

Per MSNBC:

Now that President Joe Biden has withdrawn from the presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, it seems increasingly likely that Harris will be the party’s choice to run against former President Donald Trump in November.

After all, a wave of endorsements immediately flooded in. The Clintons, John Kerry, 32 senators and 181 House Democrats quickly voiced their support. Given these endorsements and Harris’ ability to swiftly incorporate Biden’s campaign infrastructure, she’s the clear front-runner for the nomination at the August convention.

Despite his relatively short tenure as governor, Shapiro has already made significant strides.
As Harris solidifies her position, attention turns to her potential running mate. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro stands out as a compelling choice, bringing political acumen, intelligence and relevant skills to the ticket.

Despite his relatively short tenure as governor, Shapiro has already made significant strides. He demonstrated interstate cooperation by partnering with New Jersey to form a task force strengthening labor law enforcement and worker protections. This showcases his ability to collaborate across state lines to achieve progressive goals.

As attorney general of Pennsylvania, Shapiro rooted out sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. Combine his background in fighting for survivors of sexual abuse with Harris’ background as a prosecutor protecting victims of sex crimes, and the choice between the Democratic ticket and one headlined by Trump, a sexual predator, is a stark one for voters.
