Shapiro pushes 'freedom' message
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro continued with the Democrats' message of freedom contending that they were the party of "real freedom" -- to the cheers of the crowd.
"Kamala’s and Tim’s names may be on the ballot, but it's your rights, it's our rights and our future and our freedoms on the line," he said.

Shapiro drew the line from the Revolutionary War to the Civil Rights movement as examples of how the country has come together to keep those freedoms, prompting chants of "USA" from the crowd.
"E pluribus unum -- out of many, one -- is not merely a motto from the past, but a direction for our future," he said.
Shapiro was on the short list for Harris' vice presidential picks before she selected Walz.
