A Democrat candidate for statewide office in Pennsylvania has leveled a serious accusation against Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro, who has been rising on Vice President Kamala Harris’ shortlist of potential running mates.
Treasurer nominee Erin McClelland “appeared to accuse Shapiro of sexism and covering up sexual harassment,” going on to “imply he wouldn’t be satisfied playing second fiddle” to Harris, the New York Post reported, quoting a tweet she posted on Tuesday evening.
“I want a VP pick that’s secure enough to be second under a woman, is content to be VP & won’t undermine the President to maneuver his own election & doesn’t sweep sexual harassment under the rug. I want someone that can speak to rural voters,” she wrote, endorsing North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper.
