Two high-profile Democratic governors, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, hit Bucks County, PA on Monday, aiming to ignite support for Vice President Kamala Harris, now the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee. Both Shapiro and Whitmer are rumored to be on Harris’s shortlist for potential VP picks, according to NewsNation.

Harris is actively vetting candidates for her ticket, with Shapiro and Whitmer among the frontrunners. Joining the mix are Govs. Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Tim Waltz of Minnesota, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, all making headlines with their involvement in Harris campaign events. Harris is said to be seeking a running mate with whom she has strong chemistry and trust, expediting the vetting process due to her unique path to the nomination.

“We’re moving quickly, and we’ll have no further updates until the Vice President names her running mate,” a campaign spokesperson told NewsNation, confirming the process is in full swing but offering no additional details.

Conservative commentator Greg Price took to X to criticize the venue choice for the rally, noting, “Two famous governors are campaigning for the unelected Democrat nominee, and all they could muster is a high school gym that fits 1,000 people.”

Despite the critique, Shapiro, boasting a 61% approval rating in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, joined Harris supporters in a weekend blitz to register voters. Bucks County, a pivotal purple region with over 478,000 registered voters, has seen a recent shift with more residents registering as Republicans for the first time since 2007, according to NewsNation.

The governors’ appearances underscore the heated competition for the vice-presidential slot and highlight the strategic efforts to bolster Harris’s campaign in crucial swing states. As the vetting process continues, the political landscape remains charged with anticipation for Harris’s final VP choice.
