The mayor of Philadelphia might have just accidentally leaked the identity of Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate in a campaign ad. The ad posted by Mayor Cherelle Parker appears to suggest that the new Democratic Party nominee's vice presidential pick will be Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro. A visit to Harris' Pennsylvania campaign page contains photos from the video Parker shared, which seems to confirm it to be true.
An article from the Inquirer said, "Parker on Friday released a video on her campaign's Instagram account her official mayoral Instagram is a different handle that encourages voters to support "Kamala Harris for president" and "'Josh Shapiro for vice president.'" The report said the ad didn't make it clear if Parker was directly stating that Shapiro was indeed Harris' pick or if it was reiterating how high his chances were. The outlet tried to get a comment from Parker's office, but as of this writing, they have been unsuccessful. The Inquirer suggests the video was not meant as an official announcement. However, Philly Mag editor Ernest Owens begs to differ.

This is just the mayor showing her support for a longtime friend who we know is one of the people being considered," the source said. However, as stated earlier, the website for Harris in the state contains photographs taken from the video.
