Trump already knows him: the pro-Israel governor marking 2028

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro won a second term by a margin of 22%, the largest in the state in two decades. Democrats gained full control of the institutions of power for the first time since 1993. Shapiro is marked as a potential presidential candidate in 2028.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a pro-Israel Democrat, won a second term by a huge margin of about 22 percent, the largest for a governor in the state in more than two decades. Democrats gained full control of the state Senate and House of Representatives for the first time since 1993, and Shapiro personally raised ten million dollars from his campaign funds to secure victory in four congressional seats. His name comes up as a potential presidential candidate in 2028, and he has avoided committing to staying in the local arena. The article presents him as pragmatic and moderate, who succeeded in reaching Republican areas as well, but notes warnings from critics that his centrist approach could make things difficult for him on the national stage given the party's drift to the left.
