Josh Shapiro is rewriting the playbook. Will he deliver a win in Pennsylvania for Harris?

PHILADELPHIA ― The crowd was electric. Its roar intoxicating. It was almost as if Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro had not been passed over by Vice President Kamala Harris to join her ticket hours earlier.

Shapiro stepped up to the microphone, donning his signature campaign uniform – a navy blue blazer with an American flag pin on its lapel, crisp white button down sans tie and black dress sneakers. He delivered one of the fieriest speeches of his career and pledged to work his tail off to elect Harris.

Harris is a friend of two decades, he said. A former state attorney general like him, she’s courtroom tough, he added, and ready to face former Republican President Donald Trump.

“Let me tell you something. I ain’t going back. I am not going back. I am not. And neither do you want to go back,” Shapiro shouted at a fevered crowd as it repeated the line that has become Harris’ unofficial campaign slogan.
