According to a report by Stephen M. Lepore on Dailymail.com, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has found himself mired in a sexual harassment scandal, putting a damper on his position as a serious candidate for the Vice Presidency under Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
As the election approaches, Harris seeks to scrutinize potential candidates for the VP spot, including several governors from swing states who could provide an advantage to her campaign. Among these governors, Shapiro is regarded as a prominent figure.
However, the controversy surrounding Shapiro erupted when Pennsylvania Democrat Erin McClelland accused him of a cover-up. McClelland, who is running for state treasurer, publicly endorsed North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper on Tuesday night, claiming that Harris’ ideal running mate should be someone who is more supportive rather than ignoring serious issues like sexual harassment.
I want a VP pick that’s secure enough to be second under a woman, is content to be VP & won’t undermine the President to maneuver his own election & doesn’t sweep sexual harassment under the rug. I want someone that can speak to rural voters. That is @RoyCooperNC

The accusations levied against Shapiro arose from a settlement his office made with a female victim who accused his long-time ally, legislative liaison Mike Vereb, of sexual harassment back in 2023.
Shapiro’s questionable handling of the situation has caused disapproval from various political figures, including Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward and Sharif Street, chairman of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party.

Despite the scandal surrounding him, Shapiro remains firm with his support for Harris, emphasizing their shared history and commitment to the rule of law. Shapiro, who is often cited as a potential presidential candidate himself, has pledged to help Harris win, though it’s uncertain whether a VP spot under Harris remains a possibility for him.

That’s just rich; Shapiro knocking Trump’s record. I’ll take Trump’s 1.4 percent inflation, 2 buck gas and a closed boarder any day!
Isn’t sexual harassment a rite of passage for a Democrat politician running for office?
It’s a prerequisite.
The words “sex” and “democrat” should be a win/win. What’s the big deal?
“sex” and “democrat” always fit well together in the same sentence, like a sock in a shoe.
Of course it sexually assaulted a woman, it’s a democrat, 100% normal.
How will the other democrats destroy the woman for reporting it? 🤔

The Demonicrat’s problem is, there’s no such thing as a squeaky clean Demonicrat, they all have some form of smut Pedo Porn on their calling cards.
Sexual Harassment is a top tier credential for a democRAT.
You misspelled DemonicRat.
Shapiro has been visualizing sitting in the Oval Office since the time he backstabbed so many others when he was a Montgomery Country Commissioner. My opinion: Shapiro was instrumental in throwing the election to Biden v Trump in 2020. Guess his very questionable position as a “top pick” for Dem VP is his payback in 2024.
Here’s where we see once again that sexual harassment means nothing if it’s a democRAT politician being accused
