In the latest episode of the ever-dramatic 2024 presidential race, Trump’s campaign manager, Chris LaCivita, has turned up the heat by revealing that Kamala Harris is likely to choose Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate. This revelation comes as Harris solidifies her position as the Democratic frontrunner following Joe Biden’s decision not to seek re-election.
LaCivita took to X (formerly known as Twitter), writing, “Reliable Sources confirm, Kamala To Pick Governor Shapiro from PA.” This announcement has added another layer of intrigue to an already suspenseful electoral season.

For those unfamiliar with Josh Shapiro, he’s a young, dynamic governor hailing from the swing state of Pennsylvania. His political acumen and fresh appeal are seen as assets that could bolster Harris’s campaign, especially in battleground states. It’s like choosing a sidekick who’s capable of stealing the show.
However, Shapiro isn’t the only one being considered. The Harris campaign has also sent vetting papers to a star-studded list of Democratic heavyweights, including Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. It’s a veritable buffet of political talent, each bringing their own flavor to the potential ticket.
So why Shapiro? For starters, he’s been making significant strides even in his relatively short tenure as governor. From forming a task force with New Jersey to strengthen labor law enforcement and worker protections to his notable work as Attorney General of Pennsylvania rooting out sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, Shapiro has shown he’s no stranger to tackling tough issues. Pairing him with Harris, who boasts a background as a prosecutor protecting victims of sex crimes, makes for a compelling narrative against President Trump.
When grilled about the possibility of joining Harris on the Democratic ticket, Shapiro played it cool, saying, “I’m not going to engage in hypotheticals,” while attending a news conference in Pittsburgh. It’s a classic political move—keep them guessing, keep them talking.
Meanwhile, endorsements for Harris have been rolling in like thunder, however, many heavy hitters have yet to do so. With President Trump gearing up for what promises to be a no-holds-barred campaign and Harris strategizing her next move, the 2024 race is shaping up to be a showdown for the ages.
