Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a newly-elected Democrat, has been thrust into the spotlight as a potential 2028 presidential contender following President Biden’s recent debate performance. While Shapiro has publicly remained steadfast in his support for Biden, speculation has emerged, particularly from GOP leaders, suggesting he could be a viable replacement. This news follows a deadly new drug trend in Philadelphia and Shapiro’s announcement of changes to state job requirements. Despite calls for comment, Shapiro’s office has remained silent, while prominent Pennsylvania Democrats have largely avoided directly referencing Shapiro’s potential candidacy, instead focusing on their continued support for Biden.
