Govs. Gretchen Whitmer and Josh Shapiro, serving as surrogates for the vice president, blasted the GOP ticket as self-interested, out-of-touch and destructive.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer interacts with an enthusiastic crowd during a campaign rally for Vice President Harris in Ambler, Pa., on Monday. Whitmer appeared with Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.
The governors spent the afternoon blasting Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, as self-interested, out-of-touch and destructive.,” Whitmer said. “He appointed Supreme Court justices who are taking away our rights. He cut taxes for himself and for his buddies, and he tried to overturn an election.”
“It was more chaos, less jobs and far less freedom,” Shapiro said. “He had no earthly idea how to be president back then. I’m serious. He didn’t know what he was doing.” Biden endorsed Harris, who has long been viewed as his heir apparent. And in less than two days, she announced that she had secured enough delegates to be the presumptive Democratic nominee. Since then, her campaign has touted a huge swell of enthusiasm and donations.
“It’s like Barack Obama again. People feel connected. They feel like they have stake in this,” said Richardson, who was wearing a shirt emblazoned with a Shapiro slogan. “We’re a visual country. We know that had good stuff in his brain, but the visuals were taking over the conversation. That was painful. Now it’s very futuristic. I feel like my grandkids have a stake in this. We’re getting the young people involved again.
