Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro discussed with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith the topic of former Vice President Kamala Harris and her lack of public commentary on President Joe Biden’s health ahead of the 2024 election.
This information came to light during Smith’s recent podcast episode where he referenced his new book, “107 Days.”
“I haven’t read the former Vice President’s book, so she needs to explain her perspective, but it’s worth noting that she hasn’t spoken out publicly,” Shapiro remarked to Smith.
Shapiro mentioned that he has been quite outspoken about his concerns regarding Biden’s ability to run for office again, suggesting that Biden’s team had not adequately informed him about his chances of winning.
“I try to communicate honestly, aiming for a constructive dialogue. I don’t typically go through the media, but I think it’s important to be straightforward,” he added, clarifying that it wasn’t meant to come off as rude.
When asked whether he might consider a presidential run in 2028, Shapiro acknowledged that something needs to change for the country and mentioned his deep respect for his current gubernatorial role.
Fox News Digital reached out to a representative for former Vice President Harris for thoughts on this discussion.
Shapiro expressed his affection for the country and concerns about the direction of both political parties. He emphasized that it feels like a pivotal moment and he has worries about the state of his party.
“We’ll see how it unfolds and what my role could be. It’s not a decision I can make right now,” he stated, wanting to steer the nation in a “common sense direction.”
The book “2024: How Trump Loses America,” by various journalists, highlighted that despite most political analysts viewing Shapiro as a strong candidate from a swing state, interviews indicated some disagreements between him and Harris.
According to the book, Shapiro faced challenges in defining his role and admitted that being in a subordinate position to Harris felt unnatural, which may have affected their dynamic.
