Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker caused a stir when she posted a video that appears to confirm Vice President Kamala Harris’s choice of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate.
A person close to Parker said, ”This is not an announcement of anything. This is just the mayor showing her support for a longtime friend who we know is one of the people being considered.”
Uh huh. Okay. But it’s not just the video. The tweet itself gives it away.
“Proud to be back with so many leaders from across our region supporting @KamalaHarris for President and @JoshShapiroPA for VP! We are One CITY, One REGION, and ONE Commonwealth United!”
After a few people lavish praise on Harris, Parker then says, “I can’t think of a better partner than our governor, Josh Shapiro.”
The video turns its attention to Shapiro, propping him up as the perfect sidekick for Harris. They promote his policies for the working class and set standards for progressive leadership.
It ends with people saying they’re for Kamala Harris for president and Josh Shapiro for vice president.
Yeah, you cannot spin it.
I mean, I can’t think of a better choice for Harris. Shapiro puts Pennsylvania in play for her. He canceled a bunch of fundraisers over the weekend.
Shapiro planned on three appearances in the Hamptons to fundraise for his own campaign.
“The governor’s trip was planned several weeks ago and included several fund-raisers for his own campaign committee,” said Manuel Bonder, a spokesman for Shapiro. “His schedule has changed, and he is no longer traveling to the Hamptons this weekend.”
