Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) said Vice President Harris did an “excellent job” in her speech at the Ellipse rally adding that she painted a stark contrast between herself and former President Trump.
“I thought she made a really important case, not just about our democracy being threatened and the risk of Donald Trump, but I thought she also laid out some really concrete plans on how she’s going to make people’s lives better,” Gov. Shapiro said during a Tuesday CNN appearance.
“While Donald Trump is injecting chaos and keeping an enemies list, she’s talking about building housing for folks, making child care costs less, caring for your elderly parent; common sense things that are on the minds of the good people of Pennsylvania, and I would argue on the minds of Americans as well,” he added.
Shapiro was rumored to be among the candidates for Harris’s vice president pick. After selecting Gov. Tim Walz (D), the Pennsylvania leader has maintained a position on the frontlines of their campaign and could potentially be selected for a cabinet position in Harris’s administration if elected. “I think Kamala Harris hit it right tonight and did an excellent job. And I felt the juxtaposition with the last time someone spoke in that spot was really stark,” Shapiro told anchor Kaitlan Collins, referencing Trump’s previous remarks on Jan. 6, 2021.
