Philadelphia Mayor Sparks Controversy Over Harris Ticket

Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker's recent social media post has ignited speculation regarding the selection of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate. The video, which garnered significant attention and nearly 1 million views, featured Parker endorsing Shapiro alongside Harris, stirring confusion as it was perceived as a premature announcement. While sources indicate the video was intended to express support rather than confirm a decision, journalist Ernest Owens suggested it was mistakenly published ahead of Harris's official announcement, scheduled to take place soon. Shapiro is considered a top contender for the VP position, alongside other notable candidates. The unexpected release has led to a media frenzy, prompting inquiries from various news outlets, though no official comments have been made from Harris's camp or Shapiro's office. Harris is anticipated to reveal her running mate shortly, ahead of the Democratic National Convention set for August 19.
