Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
The problems with the Democratic candidate for state treasurer have been lingering since she upended party favorite state Rep. Ryan Bizzarro in the Democratic primary, her fifth turn at running for office in the past 10 years, but what really set off members of her own party were the swipes she made at Shapiro that caught national attention. Last week, at a press event for Harris, Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chairman Sharif Street said he was “offended” by McClelland’s comments.
McClelland had posted on social media that she had endorsed Gov. Roy Cooper , not Shapiro, to be Harris’s running mate. That’s fine enough: She is entitled to her own choice. It was what she said next, however, that didn’t go down well with statewide Democrats. Street said at the campaign event everybody’s entitled to an opinion, adding, “Certainly, I think, Vice President Harris, whoever she picks, we’re going to stand behind her, she’s going to do a great job. … But, I’ll tell you, I’m offended by that … by the post. I’m personally offended, and I’ll have conversations with our nominee for treasurer separately.”
McClelland has always had a bit of a love-hate relationship with her own party. She has run a total of three times in congressional elections, once dropping out before the primary. Last year, she ran in the Democratic primary for Allegheny County executive, dropping out a few weeks before the primary election after she failed to submit signatures to the county election division.
