Shapiro, 51, is the chief executive of a crucial battleground state rich with electoral votes, where Harris is set to campaign with her yet-to-be-named running mate on Tuesday. Speculation had mounted that based on the location of Tuesday’s rally, in Philadelphia, that it may just be Shapiro.
That scenario and Shapiro’s fortunes now appear to have dimmed.
Shapiro has come under fire for his administration’s move last year to pay nearly $300,000 to settle a sexual harassment claim against one of his longtime aides. The deal involved a non-disclosure agreement.
Plus, he’s convinced he “doesn’t need the votes” to win, so why give up on any VP pick? If he’s going to push fake electors and sew chaos to win, he doesn’t need popular opinions or people.
Yeah, dumping him because he’s worried would be admitting that the VP pick matters and he’s not carrying it himself. He’s not gonna do that.
