Statement from Josh Shapiro

[servermsh]

He'll be at the rally tonight

My work here in Pennsylvania is far from finished — there is a lot more stuff I want to get done for our Commonwealth.

Over the next 90 days, I look forward to traveling all across the Commonwealth to unite Pennsylvanians behind my friends Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and defeat Donald Trump.

See you tonight in Philly.

1. This makes me love him more! He has a big bright future.

[OLDMDDEM]

14. I agree.

[DFab420]

2. This man could be our first Jewish President in 8 years

I think Walz won’t seek higher office and giving Shapiro time to deepen his resume of success in PA was a good choice for the party all around.

[JI7]

7. Yes, this does make it more likely it will be a competitive primary .

[Funtatlaguy]

26. A Shapiro/Buttigieg ticket in 8 years.

[BonnieJW]

34. Dream team

Totally

[yardwork]

3. That's how it's done!

He's hosting a big celebration tonight in Philly!

[calimary]

20. And he'll be putting himself on the map for those who don't know much about him.

And they’ll discover there’s a lot to like about him.

New leaders for the future! Things are looking up! As the detestable trump era fades away…

Is Tim Walz running for president? No, but he’s up to something with this national politicking.

Interesting article that provides a little insight.

4. A class act...

... Democrats have class... and teachers!

[TommyT139]

27. And free school lunch! nt

[JohnSJ]

5. No surprise. I think the VP contenders will be at the Harris rallies in their respective

states.

We have to be united.

[yellowcanine]

6. Josh Shapiro is a class act. He has a great future beyond being governor of PA.

And Dems are lucky to have so many steller candidates that qualify to be VP and Potus. We can thank Joe Biden and Barack Obama for that.

[JI7]

8. Yup, and Republicans have Gaetz and Vance and Boebert

[et tu]

17. yes the dems have a good

strategy for unity and mentorship- that's how it's progressive
and not 'me,me,me' as the other party is~

[Dock_Yard]

19. And he knows how to PROSECUTE ...

... because more and more Repugnant politicians are looking to BREAK OUR LAWS to illicitly gain more power. We need former PROSECUTORS elected into higher places to help deter/corner/corral such Repuke criminals-in-waiting. I'm sure Shapiro will be considered for a future presidential ticket, when Kamala has to stand down for the 2032 election! Until then, maybe she should grab him for Attorney General ... I'm pretty much DONE with Merrick G at this point.

9. Class All The Way

I love this guy. That was not a half hearted endorsement. He is awesome

[claudette]

10. I absolutely❤️ this man

A true patriot. Pennsylvania is fortunate to have him as Governor.

[Pinback]

11. Class guy.

I’m glad we have Gov. Shapiro’s support and engagement. He has a bright future in public service, building further on a strong career.

[spanone]

12. K&R

[displacedvermoter]

13. Very nicely done

and expect a string of equally classy statements from the other contenders in the hours ahead. A group of honorable people with the country's best interests at heart. Such a contrast with the collection of selfish jerks in the MAGA zoo.

[mvd]

15. Great statement

I’ll be happy to have him continue as governor. Especially since Walz was a very close second in my VP preference.

[twodogsbarking]

16. What y'all said.

[PortTack]

18. He was my personal fav..but hey...he's still with us moving not just PA forward but the whole country

[Oopsie Daisy]

21. Is there a cabinet position that he'd be suited for?

[Dock_Yard]

31. How about Atty General? Merrick needs to retire.

And we desperately need a STRONG A.G. to PROSECUTE Repugnant pols and assoc's who have increasingly exhibited criminal intents.

[Oopsie Daisy]

32. What are his qualifications? Would he be suited for the job?

Or is this just a convenient way to take cheap shots at Garland?

[TBF]

35. Merrick is really high level -

Harvard, Clerking (Supreme Court), worked at major DC law firms, and then became a judge.

I think Shapiro should stay in Pennsylvania (he was my fave for VP, but not sure he really needs to be on the cabinet). He is really a great democrat - he had humble parents, graduated college with honors & JD from Georgetown at night. Really a hard worker. I love that he is pro-Israel, and I don't care what other people think about that.

[TheKentuckian]

40. I'd say being AG of a large state is at least solid experience

[Dock_Yard]

57. no cheap shot, Garland has been "ok", but ...

... he was much too slow to ignite the Special Counsel for the very serious J6 and Stolen Docs crimes by the DonVict. Consequently, with no trials now possible before Election Day, there still persists the possibility that the deranged felon might win the presidency again. And thereby trigger these cases to be canceled.

To me and most Americans, not appointing a SC for J6 by the end of 2Q 2021 was a severe dereliction of basic duty from new AG Garland. He’s a good man, well credentialed, and all that. But his public demeanor is not confidence inspiring for a high officer of the presidential Administration, and appearing to be MIA for well over a year regarding J6 was inexcusable.

[Oopsie Daisy]

58. Okay.

[RussellCattle]

22. Like so many have said here, that was a class act. She's in PA tonight, Philadelphia, so you know that he must be.....

.....disappointed.

[PennRalphie]

23. Shapiro is fantastic

Our primary in 8 years will be Shapiro vs Newsom. Both will make great Presidents after 8 years of Kamala.

[FBaggins]

49. Not unless he gets a significant cabinet post in the interim

Or perhaps gets a senate seat if one of them gets one.

He will have been out of office for six years by that point otherwise. Not much of a platform to run from.

[angrychair]

24. Class act

Thank you Governor! I know we all look forward to seeing more of Shapiro going forward. He is a strong Democrat and great advocate for the Democratic Party.

[Jarqui]

25. Democrats are very blessed with deep, talented, classy leadership

Can you imagine Trump's response ... "It was rigged!!!" "They cheated!!"

[HarrisWalz2024]

54. Exactly

Trump could never deliver a classy statement like that!

[ms liberty]

28. He's got quite the future ahead of him. Classy. Smart.

[Sugarcoated]

29. He's exceptional

A class act.

[Deminpenn]

33. Happy we get to keep Gov Shapiro around

here in PA. He's already done good things and I'm sure will continue to do so.

[TBF]

36. I would expect nothing less, he truly is a mensch -

and I know he will do everything he can to deliver Pennsylvania regardless.

[surfered]

37. I think he has a bright future

[highplainsdem]

38. Great statement. I'm looking forward to his speech at the rally. And he has a very bright future.

[Vinca]

39. A class act. I hope he runs for POTUS someday.

[mcar]

41. Good man

[liberalla]

42. Thank you Gov. Shapiro!

[Cha]

43. 💙Gov Shapiro Will be So Good Campaigning for Harris and Walz

Across PA!💙

TY!

[wolfie001]

45. He's gonna leave some bruises

AND, they'll be well-deserved!

[Cha]

47. Gov Shapiro will Bring PA's 19 Electoral Votes e for Harris Walz!

[wolfie001]

44. Great Governor here! Pennsylvania seems to know to never put a crazy repuke in charge

Looking at you Florida, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Virginia, gee, the list is so f6cking long.

[Tommymac]

46. SCOTUS would be a fine job for Gov. Shapiro.

Don't be surprised if he is on the short list when President Harris is making her SC picks.

Just sayin'.



HARRIS/WALZ 2024

🌊 It's gonna be a blue wave, baby. 🌊

[democrattotheend]

51. No way!

Total waste of that much charisma.

[Baron2024]

48. Josh Shapiro Is A Good Man

We are lucky to have him in our Party.

[TBF]

50. After that amazing warm-up he just did for Harris/Walz

I'm confident that he loves being governor & knows it's just not his time yet. Which just reinforces how bright the future is for the democratic party!

[SunSeeker]

52. Josh is a mensch.

[Dem4life1970]

53. Shapiro is a class act!

His future is very bright!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

55. Class Act. 🇺🇸 💙 🇺🇸

Unlike you know who and his party of self-centered, vindictive, sore loser losers!

[live love laugh]

56. ❣️❣️❣️❣️
