Shapiro then turned to pounce on former President Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance. But, even before he could finish, the crowd started chanting “He’s a weirdo,” Walz’s characterization of Vance.
“I love you, Philly,” Shapiro exclaimed. “The fact you are chanting he’s a weirdo means you heard of my good friend and our next vice president, Tim Walz.”
Shapiro then praised the person who was ultimately chosen to join Harris on the ticket.
“Tim Walz is a great man,” he said. “Tim Walz is an outstanding governor. Tim Walz is a teacher. Tim V is a guardsman. Tim Walz is a great patriot. And I’ll tell you what else – Tim Walz is a dear friend and I want you to know, Lori and I feel blessed to have Tim and Gwen in our lives,” he said, including the first ladies of Pennsylvania and Minnesota.
Walz returned the adulation saying Shapiro “can bring the fire.”
“I know you know this, but my God, what a treasure you have in Josh Shapiro. This is a visionary leader also, I have to tell you, everybody in America knows when you need a bridge fix, call that guy,” he added, referencing the I-95 bridge collapse last June, which the Shapiro administration had repaired in 12 days.
The audience filled the 10,000-seat stadium, with 2,000 standing and another 2,000 in another building watching live on TV.
