Kamala’s VP Leaked? Harris’ Pick Goes Public in Social Media Accident: Report
Recent developments have emerged regarding Kamala Harris’ vice presidential pick. A video shared by Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker on social media seems to reveal that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has been chosen as Harris’ running mate. This disclosure occurred before an official announcement from Harris. The mistake was highlighted by Philadelphia journalist Ernest Owens, who noted that the video was unintentionally posted by a staff member and was originally scheduled for a later release.
Owens claimed that sources close to the situation confirmed Shapiro’s selection, contributing to the surge of online reactions. Conservative commentators have been quick to amplify the news, noting the video’s significant viewership. Shapiro has long been considered a strong candidate due to Pennsylvania’s swing state status, and his potential nomination aligns with Democratic strategies for the upcoming election. Harris is anticipated to publicly introduce her running mate at an event in Philadelphia soon, raising questions about whether the early leak has undermined the surprise of the announcement.
Has someone let the cat out of the bag when it comes to Kamala Harris’ vice presidential pick?
A video published Friday on a social media account of Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker appears to show Harris has chosen Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate.
And it’s coming out before any announcement by Harris herself.
The video was reposted by Philadelphia journalist Ernest Owens — a political writer for Philadelphia Magazine.
Like I said, warm up to the strongest possible reality that we’ll be seeing Harris-Shapiro next week and the weeks to come!

In a follow-up post, Owens wrote that “Philly political sources have told me that a staffer connected with Mayor Cherelle Parker’s team accidentally posted the video today.”
The video was actually scheduled for release on Monday, after Harris was to have made her choice public, Owens wrote.
“It’s Josh Shapiro, y’all,” he concluded.
The report instantly made a splash on social media.
Conservative commentators Colin Rugg and Ian Miles Cheong picked up on it.

Combined, the two accounts had gotten the video more than 800,000 views as of late Friday afternoon.
Shapiro has been talked about as a top choice for Harris almost since it was announced July 21 that President Joe Biden is not, in fact, running for re-election. And recent signs have pointed in that direction.
By conventional standards, he could measure up well as Harris’ running mate against former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Onio Sen. J.D. Vance.
Pennsylvania is a swing state, and if Shapiro could deliver it for Democrats, he would more than earn the No. 2 job, as far as the party is concerned.
Shapiro is also Jewish, which could go some way toward tempering the Democrats’ well-deserved image as a party that’s more sympathetic to Islamist terrorists than to the state of Israel.
Harris is scheduled to make her first public appearance with her running mate — whoever that is — in Philadelphia on Tuesday, according to Fox News.
The big question is whether that city’s mayor has already spoiled the surprise.
