It was far from clear in the video whether Parker was simply promoting the Pennsylvania governor’s chances of winning the veepstakes or accidentally scooping Harris’ big announcement.
Attempts to reach Parker’s campaign were not immediately successful. But The Inquirer reached a source close to Parker who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak on behalf of her campaign.
”This is not an announcement of anything. This is just the mayor showing her support for a longtime friend who we know is one of the being considered,” the source said.
And so the wait continues to find out who will be Harris’ running mate.
Parker’s video features local union leaders and elected officials praising Shapiro. That could help him rebut charges that he isn’t labor-friendly due to concerns his support for school vouchers, which is anathema to teachers’ unions.
