HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania — Now that the dust has settled and Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) will not be Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, it is worth noting that probably the least-liked Democrat running for statewide office in Pennsylvania is Erin McClelland. 

The problems with the Democratic candidate for state treasurer have been lingering since she upended party favorite state Rep. Ryan Bizzarro in the Democratic primary, her fifth turn at running for office in the past 10 years, but what really set off members of her own party were the swipes she made at Shapiro that caught national attention. Last week, at a press event for Harris, Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chairman Sharif Street said he was “offended” by McClelland’s comments.
