Thanks to Gov. Josh Shapiro and Rep. Charlie Dent for supporting Vice President Harris and for working hard for the people of Pennsylvania!

I'm from Pennsylvania, and Governor Shapiro is a marvelous public servant. Harris Walz 2024..

I just watched this and I’m very impressed with our governor Josh Shapiro. The fact that he got upset with what Trump said about Charleroi shows that he cares. Charleroi is my home town, it’s not perfect but it’s peaceful. This man is a great statesman, with common sense. He would make a great president one day. GOD bless.
P.S. Margret Hoover is magnificent!

[RichardTaylor-yn]

At first glance, this man appears to be finest talent, not only in the field, but overall, in politics today. Head and shoulders above any That we have seen, Maybe in a long time.

I feel blessed to have Josh Shapiro as my Governor of Pennsylvania. He is practical, has common sense, does not mince words, , did a great job by picking Al Schmidt, Republican, to oversee that the Pennsylvania elections are honest, and there was no fraud in the Presidential election of 2020. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won Pennsylvania fair and square. Thanks Governor Shapiro and Al Schmidt!

I grew up visiting family in Charleroi. I have wonderful memories of my youth playing with my cousins. The economic decline of this Mon-Valley community started when the steel mills began to shut down in Pennsylvania….it has NOTHING to do with the immigrants who now live in this community.

I work at a thriving independent community hospital near this region. I have seen an increase in Haitian and Nepali service workers in our hospital. They are filling the needs to have housekeeping and service staffe positions filled in this hospital. They are contributing to the workforce in this community.

Thank you Margaret Hoover and Gov. Shapiro for bringing this to light and setting the records straight. Proud to be a Pennsylvanian under this leadership!!!

Governor Josh Shapiro definitely has a bright future among a deep bench of many well qualified Democrats, however, I am glad he opted out of the VP slot as he can still help deliver Pennsylvania whether his is on the ticket or not. Shapiro impressed me by getting I-95 operational in about two weeks and not taking months or years. This clearly required focus by a very capable executive. Pennsylvania is a vast state with large cities and suburbs, along with swaths of rural areas and will provide an excellent training ground for a future Presidential run in 2028 or 2032!

[malenateves]

He was my choice for VP but, maybe he can be President someday. He is fantastic, and I say that as a republican!

[zherin]

I like this sensible and straightforward Shapiro when he's not out there trying to be Obama at the podium.

[pamlewis]

He would make a fabulous Attorney General of the US

[LibertyWines]

Much looking forward to hearing our PA Governor with Margaret. Margaret is my favorite PBS journalist & host - she's super intelligent, highly informed, on point, creative - simply the best upcoming journalist!

[maritzabatista]

We need politicians like Josh Shapiro. He seems to care about the people, not just democrats. He's governing for the people, not a party.

[Atom-fy]

Love both Margaret and Josh! Great interview! Kamala is lucky to have him in her posse💙

[diannasgardenmenagerie]

Josh is awesome, I wish he was our govenor!!!

[willgray]

Harris’ biggest mistake was not choosing Shapiro as her VP 😂😂😂

[johndeerea]
