It’s being reported tonight that the mayor of Philadelphia mistakenly posted a video today celebrating Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as the new vice presidential pick for Kamala Harris.
The video was supposed to go out on Monday, when the pick was announced:
SCOOP: Philly political sources have told me that a staffer connected with Mayor Cherelle Parker's team accidentally posted the video today.
The video was scheduled for Monday…after VP Kamala Harris was expected to announce her pick.
It's Josh Shapiro, y'all.

I'm hearing there's a "firestorm" right now.
I guess that's an understatement.

Woops. I bet that staffer has been hearing it today. But more to the point, I guess Kamala didn’t heed the advice against choosing Shapiro over his participation in covering up sexual harassment in his office.
This is the video that was leaked out today:
