Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro denied accusations by President Trump that antisemitism played a role in him not being chosen as the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee. Shapiro criticized Trump for exploiting his Jewish identity to sow division among Americans. He emphasized that antisemitism had no impact on his discussions with the vice president. Shapiro acknowledged the presence of antisemitism in society and within some party factions, emphasizing the need to denounce it. Shapiro, a popular figure in Pennsylvania, was a finalist for the VP spot but ultimately Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, citing personal connection and his potential as an asset to the ticket. Walz surprised Pennsylvania delegates by joining them for breakfast after Shapiro’s remarks. The incident underscores the ongoing issue of antisemitism and the importance of speaking out against it.
