Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro emphasized the importance of Vice President Kamala Harris' upcoming decision on selecting a running mate during a press conference in Pittsburgh. Shapiro expressed that the decision should be made without any political pressure, allowing Harris to choose freely in the best interest of the American people.

When asked about the possibility of joining Harris as her running mate, Shapiro refrained from providing a definitive answer, stating that it is a personal decision for the vice president to make. He conveyed his confidence in Harris to make a thoughtful decision, similar to the one President Biden faced during his campaign.

Shapiro highlighted the significance of the decision-making process, emphasizing that it should be devoid of external influences. He underscored the need for Harris to have the freedom to select her running mate based on merit and alignment with the goals of the administration.

Following a conversation with President Biden, Shapiro engaged in a discussion with Vice President Harris centered on the shared objective of defeating former President Donald Trump. During their call, Shapiro promptly extended his endorsement to Harris, expressing optimism about their prospects in the upcoming political landscape.

Shapiro's endorsement of Harris was accompanied by a remark about the potential matchup against Trump, characterizing it as a contest between a prosecutor and a convicted felon. This statement reflects Shapiro's confidence in Harris' abilities and positions her as a formidable candidate in the political arena.
