If Shapiro gets the VP nod, who would replace him as Governor of PA?

Is there a popular Dem who can take over?

Not well known. In fact, I had never even heard him speak until yesterday in an interview. Smart guy, good communicator, tough, similar to Shapiro.

An R, not always easy to work with. I like the current Lt Governor. He was selected by Shapiro to be his running mate. The Lt Gov runs independently in PA and there have been times the two positions do not work together, but they seem to be a good team.
