Axelrod Says Passing Over Shapiro Was ‘Mutual’ Decision

Democratic strategist David Axelrod suggested Kamala Harris’s decision not to tap Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) as her running mate was a “mutual” one between the two Democrats, The Hill reports.

Said Axelrod: “I don’t think he was excluded for that reason. I’m not sure he was excluded at all. I think there was a mutual meeting of the minds as to whether this was the right fit for him with her.”
