| Description: | On Sept. 22, 2024, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited a Scranton, Pennsylvania, ammunition plant to thank its workers, with Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro, who was a surrogate for vice president and then-Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. Legal experts said that doesn’t constitute “foreign election interference,” which typically includes “covert, fraudulent or deceptive acts.” Zelenskyy’s meeting with Shapiro was not a campaign event for either the governor or Harris. |
