Pundits and reporters have rushed to identify the “winners and losers” of Pennsylvania’s newly signed budget.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – It’s been more than 20 years since a Pennsylvania Governor has been strongly considered for the Vice Presidency. Now Governor Josh Shapiro is in the national spotlight as a possibility, if not a front runner, to be Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate this fall.
Shapiro has repeated talking points this week regarding the Vice Presidency, saying Harris has a “personal” decision to make, one that she’s gone through prior to President Biden selecting her in 2020. On Friday the Governor said he had not personally talked to Harris since last Sunday when Biden dropped out and endorsed her.
In the coming days, Shapiro will begin a stronger public campaign for Harris that includes an event with Michigan Governor Gretchen Witmer on Monday, reportedly in the Philadelphia area.
Should Shapiro be Harris’ pick for the vice presidency, it’ll likely be announced before an August 7 virtual meeting of Democrats ahead of the Democratic National Convention.

SMITH TOWNSHIP, Pa. (KDKA) — Pennsylvania State Police in Washington County are asking for the public’s help to solve a 14-year-old cold case.
Initially labeled as a John Doe homicide, an unidentified victim was discovered in a secluded area off Log Cabin Road in Smith Township, Washington County, on Sept. 10, 2009, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
The victim’s body was in a state of advanced decomposition, police say, and at the onset of the investigation, there were no leads and no suspects or known witnesses.
On Nov. 9, 2010, the victim was identified as Steven Coleman, 24, of Ohio.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Pennsylvania State Police Washington Station at 724-223-5200 to speak with Trooper Petrosky. Callers may be eligible for a $5,000 cash reward for information that helps solve the case.
Matt O’Donnell moderates this panel discussing a plethora of recent political events and how it will impact the swing state of Pennsylvania.
They talked about President Joe Biden’s surprising exit from the presidential race and his immediate endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Harris officially launched her historic presidential bid, garnering many local political endorsements and helping Democrats break fundraising records.
How will former President Donald Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance pivot their campaign messaging, and how will this affect down-ballot races such as the Pa. and New Jersey Senate races?
Another significant development, New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez is set to resign later in August. Is this a sure win for Democrat Representative Andy Kim?
Join Matt O’Donnell and panelists Melissa Robbins, Neil Oxman, Farah Jimenez, and Rich Thau for the Inside Story.
