A handful of Democratic governors are being thrust into the national spotlight as potential running mates for now-candidate Kamala Harris.
When news broke that President Joe Biden backed out of the presidential race and endorsed Harris, Newsom was fully on board to back a Harris bid. "Kamala Harris is a patriot worthy of our support and she will continue the work of generations of Americans who came before us to protect our union," he said.Roy Cooper and Gretchen Whitmer, who have also endorsed Harris, are two other names to expect in the vice president conversation this week.
Josh Shapiro is another one. He is the current governor of Pennsylvania, the swing state with the most electoral votes up for grabs. Shapiro has only been in office since the start of last year but he's a popular figure as he is Pennsylvania's highest vote-getter in gubernatorial history after winning 2022's election by 15 percentage points.
