Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is reportedly at the top of the list of potential running mates for Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for the White House. But many progressives have raised alarm about Shapiro's record, including his support for corporate tax breaks and school vouchers, his relationship with oil and gas companies, and his demonization of pro-Palestinian protesters. "He's been actively and vocally supportive of Israel's war on Gaza since October 7 and prior," says journalist Marc Lamont Hill in Philadelphia. "In every conceivable way, Josh Shapiro is not a progressive candidate." He adds that while Shapiro's choice as running mate would be "very frustrating," it would also clarify the choices in the election and prevent people from projecting false hope onto Harris as many did with Barack Obama. "She very clearly is a liberal, but certainly not a progressive or a radical."
