Kamala Harris’s potential VP pick Josh Shapiro’s relationship with Sen. John Fetterman has been the subject of press attention.
Kamala Harris’ vice presidential top picks came down to two candidates on Monday afternoon—Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz—with the Democratic presidential candidate expected to announce her selection by Tuesday.
Reuters has reported Shapiro and Walz are the remaining pair in the running, with Harris scheduled to make her first public appearance with her pick on Tuesday night at Temple University in Philadelphia.
As speculation continues, with tight odds between the pair, social media posts claimed that Pennsylvania Senator and Shapiro’s political colleague John Fetterman had been “saying Josh Shapiro can’t be trusted.”
The Claim
Multiple posts on Telegram by conspiracy theorist Jack Posbiec, posted on August 4, 2024, claimed that Senator John Fetterman believes Governor Josh Shapiro “can’t be trusted.”
“John Fetterman is the most high profile politician in all of Pennsylvania. And yet he hasn’t appeared at any of these events with Josh Shapiro since he has been named as a potential VP pick”, Posobiec wrote.
“Fetterman knows Shapiro cant be trusted.”
Elsewhere, Posobiec said: “John Fetterman is the most high-profile Democrat in PA and is saying Josh Shapiro can’t be trusted.
