Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has made the most of the Democratic National Convention with appearances before key states' delegations, which could help with a future White House run.
From New Hampshire to Nevada, a lot of key states’ delegations were eager to hear from Gov. Josh Shapiro at the DNC.
“Today we find ourselves writing the next chapter,” Shapiro said from the United Center stage. “Will we be a nation defined by chaos and extremism? Or will we choose a path of decency, honor and continued progress?”two weeks ago but he’s been a welcomed — and busy — surrogate across state delegations, receptions, and Democratic caucus meetings at the convention.
Throughout his appearances, Shapiro promoted the Harris-Walz ticket, as well as his administration’s work. He wasn’t the only one in the veep conversation who was making the rounds this week. Govs. Gretchen Whitmer, of Michigan, Andy Beshear, of Kentucky, Wes Moore, of Maryland, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg were all making similar stops.
“New Hampshire people have gotten to see him, they’ve gotten to know him, and they’re starting to make friendships,” Demurs said. “Bill Clinton is the classic example of a guy who came to New Hampshire for literally a dozen years before he ever decided to run for president... So making these relationships is really a good move.”Some of the focus on Shapiro is an extension of Pennsylvania’s key role in the election and how that’s been highlighted throughout the week in Chicago.
“You might not know this because they haven’t really covered it, but I’m Jewish,” Shapiro told Nevadans. “I will tell you this it is way harder being a synagogue president than being a U.S. senator.”Across all of his speeches, Shapiro hit what has become a theme — broadly defending freedom and preaching the governing productivity that he said voters crave, without many specifics.
