Mayor’s Post Leads to Speculation Over Harris’s VP Pick

(PatriotNews.net) – Republican voters at a Trump rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, are talking about Vice President Kamala Harris possibly picking Governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate. A video posted by Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker seems to suggest this idea, creating a buzz on social media as people wonder if the post was an accidental leak.

On Friday afternoon, Parker posted on X, showing her support for Harris’ campaign and also for Shapiro as her vice-presidential pick, even though Harris hasn’t announced her running mate yet.

In the video, Parker said, “And I cannot think of a better partner than our governor, Josh Shapiro.”

The post read, “Proud 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!”

Some social media users quickly speculated that the post was an accidental leak, revealing Harris’ choice for her running mate. However, a source close to Parker’s political team denied this, saying the video was posted intentionally as an endorsement of Shapiro, who is a longtime friend and hometown governor.

Other names being considered for Harris’ running mate include Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona, Governors Tim Walz from Minnesota and Andy Beshear from Kentucky, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

The Harris campaign has not officially announced her pick yet, but it is expected soon. The chosen running mate is supposed to join her next week on a four-day tour of key battleground states, starting in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

In a statement, a Harris campaign spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “Vice President Harris has directed her team to begin the process of vetting potential running mates. That process has begun in earnest and we do not expect to have additional updates until the Vice President announces who will be serving as her running mate and as the next Vice President of the United States.”
