“As Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) takes his first concrete steps on the national stage, a cloud of a scandal involving one of his former top aides is emerging back home,” Politico reports.
“Last week, Mike Vereb, a member of Shapiro’s cabinet and a longtime ally to the Pennsylvania Democratic governor, abruptly resigned. A day later, local outlets reported that a former female aide to Vereb alleged that he had sexually harassed and retaliated against her.”
