Gov. Josh Shapiro will speak at the Harris-Walz campaign’s main debate watch party in Old City tonight before Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump take the stage for their first debate at the National Constitution Center.

After the debate, Shapiro will be at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, taking questions from reporters and looking to promote Harris’ performance and contrast it with Trump’s. As the very popular governor of a key battleground state that could likely determine the presidency, the Montgomery County native has emerged as a prominent cheerleader for the Harris campaign.

Once a top contender for the job of Harris’ running mate, Shapiro was on the campaign trail to stump for the vice president and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who Harris ultimately chose as her No. 2, the moment that pick became official, delivering a powerful speech at the Philadelphia rally where Harris and Walz debuted as a ticket.

Shapiro is no stranger to attacks from Trump as the former president has unleashed several verbal incursions against the governor, even after he lost the veepstakes.
