Governor Josh Shapiro of Abington is expected to be one of the speakers at the Democratic National Convention tonight in Chicago, CBS reported today.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is scheduled to deliver the keynote address and will officially accept the Democratic vice presidential nomination. Harris will officially accept the Democratic nomination Thursday night, the final day of the DNC.
