Obama Endorses Shapiro for Pennsylvania Reelection

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is seeking reelection against Republican nominee Stacy Garrity, with both receiving high-profile endorsements: former President Barack Obama backed Shapiro, while President Donald Trump endorsed Garrity. Obama praised Shapiro’s record and willingness to challenge the federal administration; polls cited in the reports show Shapiro leading the race. At a Penn campus event, Shapiro urged Democrats to mobilize young voters and win control of both chambers of the state legislature, and said his priorities if reelected include a $15 minimum wage, full funding for public transit, more affordable housing and protections for abortion rights.
