Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro expressed his strong support for Vice President Kamala Harris during a recent event in his hometown. Addressing a crowd of over 1,000 people, Gov. Shapiro emphasized Harris' readiness to assume the role of President of the United States, stating that she is not only prepared but 'damn ready' for the position.
Gov. Shapiro, considered a top contender for Harris' running mate, highlighted Harris' experience and resilience, referring to her as a battle-tested leader who is capable of leading the nation. He was joined by Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who also praised Harris for her ability to steer America in the right direction.
During his speech, Gov. Shapiro took aim at former President Donald Trump, criticizing Trump's reluctance to commit to future debates until the Democratic nominee is officially chosen. Shapiro pointed out that Trump's avoidance of debating Harris is a clear indication of his fear, not only of her debating skills but also of his inability to defend his own record.
Furthermore, Gov. Shapiro seized on the recent Democratic criticism of Trump, labeling him as 'weird' for his behavior on stage, particularly his habit of hugging the American flag during rallies. Shapiro humorously remarked on Trump's actions, suggesting that while he respects the flag, Trump's behavior is unconventional and raises eyebrows.
Overall, Gov. Shapiro's endorsement of Vice President Harris underscores the growing support within the Democratic Party for her presidential candidacy. With key figures like Shapiro and Whitmer backing Harris, the momentum behind her campaign continues to build as the 2024 election approaches.
