Pa. Governor Josh Shapiro weighs in on the measles outbreak and Israel

Gov. Josh Shapiro has been rumored to have his sights set on the White House dating back to his time as a state representative, as a Montgomery County commissioner, as the state attorney general, and now as Pennsylvania’s governor. And while other 2028 Democratic presidential hopefuls are more outward with their ambitions, hosting fundraisers and making themselves known in early primary states, Shapiro — a disciplined and careful communicator — has led a calculated balancing act as he runs for reelection to the state’s top post, hoping to carry the rest of the Pennsylvania ballot with him. Ahead of the general election next week, Inquirer politics reporters Gillian McGoldrick and Michelle Baruchman sat down with the governor for an interview. Watch as he weighs in on Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak and Israel.
