Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a potential 2028 presidential contender, has criticized former Vice President Kamala Harris for not speaking out about the fitness of President Joe Biden during his re-election bid. In a SiriusXM show interview, Shapiro said that Harris “will have to answer” for her silence on the issue, citing his own private conversations with Biden’s staff as evidence of his concerns.
Harris had written in her book that she considered addressing Biden’s decision to run for re-election to be “reckless,” but argued that it was not a choice that should be left to individual ambition. Shapiro countered that Harris was in the room at the time and should have spoken out, even if it meant going against public opinion.
Shapiro has taken a hardline stance on criticizing Trump’s rhetoric, saying he refuses to engage with divisive tactics to win elections. He stands alongside other Democratic governors who are pushing back against Trump’s attacks on democracy. Harris’ decision not to publicly address Biden’s fitness for office remains under scrutiny from Shapiro and other politicians.
