Josh Shapiro has cancelled a trip to the ritzy New York beach enclave of the Hamptons, as he's being considered to be Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.
"The Governor's trip was planned several weeks ago and included several fundraisers for his own campaign committee," Shapiro spokesman Manuel Bonder confirmed to NBC News.
Shapiro has emerged as a favorite among some Harris advisers in part because he is so popular in the must-win swing state.
Harris' campaign has already announced that she and her running mate will launch of a week of barnstorm campaigning on Tuesday in Philadelphia.
The location has only fueled speculation that Shapiro could be that running mate.
