Josh Shapiro weighs in on Elon Musk, Pennsylvania election, misinformation
Josh Shapiro sits atop one of the most important states this election, and he said he’s doing everything he can to make sure Kamala Harris wins in Pennsylvania.
LANCASTER, Pa. — Josh Shapiro sits atop what may be one of the most important states this election, and he said he’s doing everything he can to make sure Kamala Harris wins in Pennsylvania.
“Every election I’ve ever personally been involved in, the feeling I want to have that night, that Monday night when I go to bed, is that I left it all on the field,” Shapiro told NBC News when asked if he will feel on the night before Election Day that he’s done everything he can to get Harris elected.
“And at the pace I’m keeping right now,” he added, “I’m pretty sure I’ll feel that way.”
Two years into the job, Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor enjoys high approval ratings and was one of the finalists to become Harris' running mate, in no small part because of his 15-point landslide victory in the key swing state in 2022. Should the vice president lose the election next month, picking Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz over Shapiro will be one of the first choices that is second-guessed.
Even though he wasn’t selected, Shapiro has been a sought-after surrogate, stumping for Harris in nearly 60 events since President Joe Biden left the race. He’s also worked to boost Democratic candidates up and down the ballot, in state-level races and key House and Senate seats around the country.
