On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) acknowledged “there are serious challenges in the world” like the tensions in the Middle East and the port strike, but “many of these challenges are as a result of Donald Trump’s policies and things he set in motion and we need serious people right now to address that.” Host Neil Cavuto asked, [relevant exchange begins around 1:00] “[T]his message coming today about, now you have a port strike going on, you’ve got this turbulence in the Middle East again, that seems to be a constant,...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) said that Iran has “been using Hezbollah, one of their proxies, to attack Israel for the better part of the last year” and launched an “unprecedented attack on Israel” today, but “when Donald Trump was President, we had more chaos at home and abroad, and he has no plans to bring stability, either to the Middle East, or throughout the nation, when we’re facing serious challenges here.” After listening to Trump saying that Biden and Harris are absent, Shapiro stated, “Well, first off, Wolf, let’s speak truth, Iran...

While Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is in the United States begging for more U.S. taxpayer dollars and munitions, he appears to be using some of his time to stump for the Harris campaign and attack Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance on American soil. Zelensky also joined Harris surrogate Democrat Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro for a tour of an ammunition factory in the Keystone State. Zelensky had time for a sitdown interview with The New Yorker and directly went after Trump and Vance. “My feeling is that Trump doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if...

A national free speech group is ready to sue Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) for his restrictions on what government workers do and say in their free time. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression has tried to warn the Keystone State’s Democratic governor about the legal problems with an executive order he issued. On Sept. 9, it announced a “statewide call for employees affected by the order to get in touch to challenge the order.”

Election data savant Nate Silver said over the weekend that Vice President Kamala Harris passed up a “big opportunity” with her choice of running mate, a move which polls indicate could cost the Democrat a crucial swing state. The FiveThirtyEight founder wrote in his “Silver Bulletin” newsletter Sunday that the 59-year-old “blew one big opportunity to tack to the center with her selection of [Minnesota Gov.] Tim Walz rather than [Pennsylvania Gov.] Josh Shapiro.” Silver was responding to a New York Times/Siena College poll which showed nearly half (47%) of likely voters considered Harris too liberal, a reflection of her...

On Friday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) said that “it’s a sign of strength” that 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris has changed her position on several issues and that she listened to Pennsylvanians on fracking. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked, “Kamala Harris is running a very different campaign than she did when she ran in the 2020 cycle. She’s moving to the center on a number of issues, she’s walked back previously held positions like calling for banning fracking. Do you — she’s gearing up to do this must-watch debate with former...

Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA) said Friday on ABC’s “The View” that Vice President Kamala Harris should not underestimate her opponent, former President Donald Trump, in a debate setting. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “Kamala Harris is running a very different campaign than she did when she ran in the 2020. She’s moving to the center on a number of issues and walked back previously held positions like calling for banning fracking. She’s gearing up to do this must-watch debate with former President Trump on Tuesday. Do you think it’s a strategic mistake that she hasn’t explained some of these positions...

As we reported, that honeymoon for Kamala Harris is looking like it might be over as the American people take a better look at her and her running mate, Tim Walz. I wrote on Wednesday about Nate Silver's latest forecast, a new local Michigan poll that puts former President Donald Trump up in Michigan, as well as the Trafalgar Group/Insider Advantage polls. New Michigan Poll and Latest Nate Silver Forecast Are Going to Cause Dem Meltdowns Now Silver's numbers just got better for Trump and worse for Harris, from what I wrote on Wednesday. As Silver noted, part of that...

CNN's Kaitlan Collins received harsh words from conservatives for not challenging Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's disputed claims about Donald Trump. Collins, one of CNN's emerging stars, interviewed Shapiro on the floor Tuesday night and asked him about Trump's claims that antisemitism led him to be passed over for Harris' running mate. 'Donald Trump has absolutely no credibility to speak on that issue,' Shapiro said. 'He is a person who has acted bigoted, he is a person who spreads hate.'

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro denied on Monday that antisemitism played a role in his not becoming the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee, as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has charged. Shapiro said Trump was the “least credible person” when it came to standing up against hatred and bigotry, in comments quoted by NBC News. “He’s trying to use me and he’s trying to use other Jews to divide Americans further,” Shapiro said. He then clarified, “Antisemitism played absolutely no role in my dialogue with the vice president. Absolutely none. It is also true that antisemitism is present in our commonwealth,...

Kamala Harris has only had to make one big decision since her anointment (without a single vote) as the Democrat presidential nominee, and boy did she blow it.Her antisemitism had a lot to do with it. No one with half a brain doubts she passed over (pun intended) Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) because he is Jewish. Shapiro was the perfect VP choice. He's a young 51, seen as a moderate, good on TV, and the popular governor of a must-win swing state. But Kamala said no for only one reason: to pander to the rabid Jews haters who have become...

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro broke his silence about not joining the 2024 Democratic ticket as the vice presidential candidate — with sources attributing presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ snub to her fear that he would steal the “spotlight” and alienate the party’s progressive base over his support for Israel. ... Hank Sheinkopf told The Post that Shapiro was too hot to pick as Harris’ running mate because of his pro-Israel record, and that Waltz was a safer choice. “The ticket would have been too pro-Israel. Harris doesn’t need a battle over Israel-Gaza,” said Sheinkopf, who worked on Bill Clinton’s re-election campaign....

Vice President Kamala Harris, now the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee by default, did what her predecessor President Joe Biden only dreamed of when she chose Governor Mike Walz (D-MN) to be her running mate: she got Republicans and the far-Left anti-Israel “Squad” to agree on something. In the hours after media began reporting that Walz was Harris’ final choice — despite some rumblings that she might choose critical swing-state Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA) — liberal “Squad” members cheered the addition to the party’s ticket, and Republicans cheered what they viewed as an unforced error that could make the path...

As recently as last week, Kamala Harris appeared to be on the cusp of picking Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) as her running mate. Despite the progressive backlash against him and a slew of scandalous leaks, he was the runaway frontrunner in the betting odds as conventional wisdom held that Kamala needed a "moderate" swing state Democrat to help expand her path to 270 Electoral College votes. Shapiro's chances remained high even after he faced serious allegations by a fellow Democrat of covering up harassment in his office. The sexual harassment cover-up didn't take Shapiro out of contention, and neither did...

Kamala Harris has finally picked a VP running mate, but it's not the person everyone thought it was going to be. @Elex_Michaelson joined us on TMZ Live to discuss her choice!

Radical Left Squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) celebrated Kamala Harris’s running mate choice Tuesday. Harris chose Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) – from Omar’s adopted home state – as her vice presidential nominee, as Breitbart News reported.

Vice presidential hopeful Josh Shapiro spent last week tempering his Jewishness, walking back support for Israel to pacify the pro-Hamas wing of the Democratic Party. At this pace, the Pennsylvania governor is mere days from warning us that the future doesn’t belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.Hey, Michigan isn’t going to win itself.You can really learn a lot about a politician by watching who they choose to appease. The problem is that Shapiro, who is reportedly on the top of Kamala Harris’s veep list, has a record of supporting a liberal democratic ally in the Middle East...

If she picks Shapiro, it might make her image look lesss radical which is not true. Then it might be harder for us at the GOP.
