Pennsylvania Trump supporters sound off on potential Gov. Josh Shapiro pick for Kamala Harris' vice president
HARRISBURG, Pa. – Republican voters voiced their thoughts on Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as Kamala Harris’ veepstakes heat up – with the Democratic governor largely considered a top contender.
The Trump supporters’ comments came after they poured out of Harrisburg’s New Holland Arena on Wednesday night after a fiery rally by former President Donald Trump, which marked the GOP nominee’s first campaign event in Pennsylvania following his near assassination at a rally in Butler on July 13.
Shapiro has emerged as a potential running mate for Kamala Harris if she becomes the Democrat nominee on the 2024 ticket.
The 51-year-old governor has built himself a strong reputation in the notoriously purple state for condemning antisemitism, recruitment and retention of law enforcement, as well as defending abortion rights.

Outside the Trump rally, supporters decked out in American flags and Trump gear told Fox News Digital that a Harris and Shapiro ticket was not the way to go.
“I have mixed feelings,” Mark said. “The one good thing would be that when they lose, we lose both Josh Shapiro and Kamala Harris.”
“If Shapiro actually signs on… no,” Valerie said. “I would lose all respect for him.”
“I’m not a big fan of Josh Shapiro, and I think picking him would hurt her [Harris] candidacy,” Sherry said.

“She can pick whomever she wants,” Wayne said. “I think that when and if the media shows Harris’ record, people are going to realize that she’s a little better than a communist.”
“It’s about her and not about America,” he added. “Look what she did to San Francisco and California.”

Prior to shaping headlines about the contentious 2024 race for the White House, Shapiro, 51, was elected to a four-year term as the 48th governor of Pennsylvania in 2022.

Before winning the state’s gubernatorial election, Shapiro – a native of Kansas City, Missouri – previously served as Pennsylvania’s attorney general from 2017 to 2023.
Shapiro is widely considered to be on Harris’ shortlist for potential vice presidential picks on the road to election day on Nov. 5.
Sen. Mark Kelly, D-AZ, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg are also being considered as Harris’ vice presidential pick.

Will the Boston Red Sox cut ties with Aroldis Chapman before the 2026 Major League Baseball trade deadline?
That’s going to be the biggest question hanging over the organization ahead of the deadline if the Red Sox aren’t able to fully turn their season around. After taking down the New York Yankees on Friday, Boston has a 27-35 record. The Red Sox’s contest against the Yankees was postponed on Saturday and the two American League East rivals will conclude their brief series at Yankee Stadium on Sunday.
Boston clearly has a lot of work to do right now. With the club currently struggling in the standings, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale wrote that Chapman is “expected” to join his eighth different team this summer and get moved.
What Will Boston Do With Aroldis Chapman?
“Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman is expected to join his eighth different team, and potentially be in the postseason with his sixth different team,” Nightengale wrote. “He is the top reliever available on every contender’s target list, converting 28 consecutive saves dating back to last season, one shy of his career record.”
If the Red Sox are eight games below .500 at the beginning of August, like they are now, then this idea unfortunately, would make sense. But it’s important to note that on Saturday, The Athletic’s Jen McCaffrey reported that Boston has fielded calls on Chapman, Justin Slaten, and Garrett Whitlock but has told teams that the trio currently isn’t available. The idea of Chapman being moved is fully contingent on whether the Red Sox can make progress in the standings over the next two months.
Right now, the Red Sox are just three games out of an American League Wild Card spot, so it’s not the craziest idea in the world to believe they can make up some ground here. Plus, let’s not forget that some point Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony will be able to return.
So, right now, the Red Sox are in a tough spot, which gives some life to Nightengale’s point, but it’s still a bit too early to fully jump to conclusions. If the Red Sox can go on a little run, then all of a sudden the perception will shift around Boston. If not, then the club will end up getting a haul in exchange for Chapman if the club actually does end up moving him before the deadline.
