CNN Correspondent John King sparked controversy by suggesting potential risks if Kamala Harris chooses Jewish Governor Josh Shapiro as a running mate. King’s comments received backlash from prominent Jewish figures and ignited a discussion about diversity in American politics.
Shapiro, Pennsylvania’s governor, is hailed as a rising star in the Democratic Party with a legal background similar to Harris. Despite concerns raised by some, Shapiro has a strong track record of winning against Republicans in key elections.
Shapiro, an observant Conservative Jew, has endorsed Harris and emphasized the importance of Pennsylvania in the upcoming elections. His support for Israel’s right to self-defense has also been noted.
Who is Josh Shapiro?
Shapiro’s alignment with Harris on core issues and shared commitment to upholding the rule of law have garnered praise. As the third Jewish governor of Pennsylvania, Shapiro represents a diverse voice in American politics.
