Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro announced on Jan. 8 that he is running for a second term to lead the key swing state.
Shapiro—who was a final contender to be Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 running mate and is widely seen as a 2028 presidential contender—was first elected to the governor’s office in 2022 after defeating Republican nominee Doug Mastriano. Shapiro won the state at the time with 3.03 million votes, or 56.4 percent of the vote.
