Shapiro?

He’s the logical choice.
Yes.
There is some baggage regarding his administration dealing with sexual harassment charges, iirc.
People who are bothered by the fact that Harris's vice president had someone on his staff accused of sexual harassment can always vote for Trump.

From two years ago, a suicide.
Eyewitness News has exclusively learned the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office has finished reviewing the mysterious death of Ellen Greenberg, a Philadelphia school teacher who was found stabbed nearly 20 times in 2011. The office reaffirmed that her death was a suicide.
The AG's Office previously reviewed the case in 2019 and had determined the death was a suicide.
The file of Ellen Greenberg is being closed by the office of Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, according to a letter sent to the attorney of Greenberg's parents. The letter shows the AG's Office still supports suicide as the manner of death after it reviewed the case again, between December 2021 and January of this year.
The Greenberg's attorney uncovered what Podraza called new evidence in the case last year. In December, he provided it to the state attorney general's office to review.
Part of that new evidence is the deposition of a medical expert who reexamined a part of Greenberg's spinal tissue, which found some interesting results.
"What's significant here is that there's no hemorrhage," Lyndsey Emery, a neuropathologist, said in her deposition.
"You don't stab yourself when you're dead," Podraza said. "That's just a basic medical proposition that no one disputes."
But the attorney general's letter suggests the medical examiner misspoke when she gave that answer, adding, "After reviewing the material, the facts still support the medical examiner's finding of suicide."
She should have fallen out of a window.

I checked older versions of his wiki page from 2021, 2022, 2023, and February 2024.
None mention IDF.
Assuming it really did appear in a recent page, it was probably vandalism from antisemites or anti-Shapiro folks playing to them that was then corrected.

Not recent - 1993.
ennsylvania Governor and potential Democratic vice presidential nominee Josh Shapiro on Friday sought to distance himself from a recently uncovered op-ed he wrote in college, in which he identified as a former volunteer in the IDF and argued that the Palestinians are too “battle-minded” to pursue peace with Israel.
“While he was in high school, Josh Shapiro was required to do a service project, which he and several classmates completed through a program that took them to a kibbutz in Israel where he worked on a farm and at a fishery,” Shapiro’s spokesperson Manuel Bonder told The Times of Israel.
“The program also included volunteering on service projects on an Israeli army base. At no time was he engaged in any military activities,” Bonder added in a statement responding to an inquiry regarding the nature of his volunteer work.
In the 1993 newspaper op-ed, which dismissed the recently signed Oslo Accords, Shapiro wrote, “Despite my skepticism as a Jew and a past volunteer in the Israeli army, I strongly hope and pray that this ‘peace plan’ will be successful.”
While Shapiro’s Jewish roots are well established — including his enrollment at the Akiba Hebrew Academy in Philadelphia — the op-ed from his time at the University of Rochester appeared to be the first revelation of such direct ties to the IDF.
“Palestinians will not coexist peacefully,” Shapiro also wrote in the op-ed titled “Peace Not Possible.”
“They do not have the capabilities to establish their own homeland and make it successful even with the aid of Israel and the United States. They are too battle-minded to be able to establish a peaceful homeland of their own,” added the then-20-year-old student.

If they were smart, they would have waited 2 weeks.
