Pennsylvania Democrats rally around Biden, blasting 'premature' Shapiro speculation
Fox News
Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro's name became the latest bandied about as a potential Biden replacement, but state Democrats remained behind the incumbent.
Sam DeMarco, the GOP county chairman in Pittsburgh, reportedly said as the "popular governor of a critical swing state," Shapiro is "getting calls tonight," according to the Post-Gazette. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
The paper also cited Tom Corbett – the state's last Republican governor – as saying any Keystone State executive is automatically in the presidential conversation due to the commonwealth's geography, electoral vote tranche, and swing-state status. Multiple other reports named Shapiro as a top potential replacement. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
