Joe Biden announced he would not seek re-election and endorsed Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is a prominent contender for Harris's running mate due to his popularity and potential to secure Pennsylvania's crucial electoral votes.
Shapiro gained national recognition for his handling of the I-95 overpass collapse in 2023 and the response to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
Analysts highlight Shapiro's advantage in being from Pennsylvania, a key swing state, and his high approval ratings.
Following Biden's announcement, Shapiro expressed his support for Harris, emphasizing the importance of unity and the strategic significance of Pennsylvania in the upcoming election.
