Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has canceled a trip to the Hamptons area of New York, days before Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to reveal her running mate. He was scheduled to attend fundraising events in the Hamptons this weekend but changed his schedule. Shapiro is seen as a top contender to be Harris' running mate in part due to his popularity and moderate policies in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. He is viewed as taking a pro-business and moderate approach and willing to work with Republicans. Harris' campaign has announced a week of intensive campaigning starting Tuesday in Philadelphia, which has sparked speculation that Shapiro might be her running mate.
