Shapiro cancels weekend events as VP search narrows

A spokesperson for Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who is among those being vetted as Harris' potential running mate, confirmed the governor has canceled fundraisers in the Hamptons this weekend that were originally scheduled to raise money for his PAC.

“The Governor’s trip was planned several weeks ago and included several fundraisers for his own campaign committee,” Shapiro spokesperson Manuel Bonder said. "His schedule has changed and he is no longer traveling to the Hamptons this weekend."

Shapiro, a first-term governor, is considered a top contender to be Harris’ running mate and discussed the role with Harris’ team on Wednesday.
