Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s pitch is that he can help in his home state. And that he’ll be an attack dog against Trump.

Montgomery County, Pennsylvania — Unsurprisingly, Gov. Josh Shapiro isn’t directly saying he wants to be Kamala Harris’ vice president. But in his stump for the current vice president, Shapiro’s message for what he brings to the table as her running mate is clear.

“Three simple letters that I reflect on every day: GSD — Getting Shit Done,” he said to a crowd of over 1,000 on Monday evening.

Shapiro is bringing his pitch for Harris on the road across Pennsylvania while avoiding saying the quiet part out loud: that he’s positioning himself as a vice presidential front-runner.
