At the moment, it looks like Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is favored to be selected as Kamala Harris’s running mate.
Shapiro has been the target of some damaging leaks in the past week, including the fact that he allegedly covered up sexual harassment in his office. There is also a lot of pushback coming from progressives in the party who don’t like his position on school vouchers or his stance on the Israel-Hamas war. So far, none of these issues seem to be hurting his chances. According to reports, Harris will appear at a rally with her running mate on Tuesday in Philadelphia, Pa., and Shapiro has canceled some of his weekend fundraisers. These two developments have increased the chances that he’s the guy. From Harris’s perspective, Shapiro would make winning Pennsylvania much more likely.
But if he’s chosen, a 2011 case from Shapiro’s time as Pennsylvania Attorney General could become a significant threat to the possible Harris-Shapiro campaign.
In 2011, 27-year-old Ellen Greenberg, a first-grade teacher at Juniata Park Academy, died in an apartment she shared with her fiancé, Sam Goldberg in Manayunk. Her body was found with a knife in her chest on the floor of the kitchen and the Philadelphia Assistant Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne found 20 stab and slash wounds, half of which were in the back of her neck and head.
