Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is arguably the leading VP candidate for the likely Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

Though Shapiro has a high favorability rating in his state and among those supporting his VP nomination, he also faces notable criticism.

Shapiro has been opposed to Palestinian protests against Israel, and his office has come under fire for the handling of a sexual harassment investigation involving one of his longtime aides.

    He pitched himself last week! He is eager to become VP! I like Mark Kelly he has more experienced and is humble! He doesn’t try to sound or act like Obama!

    NO....We want Tim Walz, because he has the best record, is good at attacking MAGA, and a retired teacher and veteran, so he comes across as a regular guy. Andy Beshear would be my second choice.

    Obama didn't choose Joe because of Delaware. Trump didn't need Pence for Indiana. Duh.
  • @user-bc6ok1yh4s
    He's a no-go for this long time union Democrat. She better not if she wants my vote.
  • @jbethwal
    If Dems play inside party delusions vs US political historic realities on VP pick, that's game. None of the 3 are ok. Kelly - a vet, AZ (swing) and no controversy known - closest.

    Remember debates ? Kamala got 0 votes... I guess we don't get a choice anymore
