Gov. Shapiro and Sen. Kelly each met with Harris over the weekend in D.C.
Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris speaks at a campaign rally on August 7, 2024, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. When Gov. Josh Shapiro took the stage ahead of the newly minted Democratic ticket of Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz"I want you to know, every single day, I go to work for you," he said to loud cheers.
The person cited Shapiro's "love" of the job and, notably, of being in an executive role, suggesting that playing second fiddle to Harris may not have been a good fit. The near immediate emergence of Kelly's name as a possible running mate surprised his team, and the opportunity "fell out of the sky" for a former astronaut who had not run for elected office until 2019, the person said, adding that Kelly was "playing with house money."
