Gov. Shapiro spars with President Trump amid latest lawsuit victory
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — Pennsylvania's Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro campaigned hard against Republican President Donald Trump. Shapiro is not a fan of the president, but unlike many fellow Democrats, Shapiro hasn't been a loud and harsh critic of every move Trump has made. He's taken a more measured approach, but that changed a bit this week. 'I got a pretty good track record when I take Donald Trump to court,' Shapiro said. 'We're gonna win this and get our money back for the good people of Pennsylvania.' Shapiro announced a lawsuit against the Trump administration for reneging on a contract to pay Pennsylvania farmers to produce food for the Keystone State's hungry. He's also claimed victory in lawsuits against the Trump administration. The Governor is also showing more of an appetite for pointed remarks about the President's men. 'These guys don't know how to govern,' Shapiro said. 'Over the last four months, what has defined the federal government, absolute chaos at every level, rising prices, screwing over farmers.' 'President Trump took an oath of office and on that day, he was the leader of the free world,' Shapiro added. 'He seems to be working overtime to relegating us to being a hemispheric power in the world. This is really dangerous, scary, chaotic stuff.' Shapiro had mostly avoided sparring with Trump, who has a reputation for retaliation. The gloves came off this week, with Shapiro saying, 'These guys are like the gang that can't shoot straight.' 'We're going to have political differences,' responded U.S. Senator Dave McCormick (R-PA). 'I'm sure I disagree with the Governor probably more than we agree.' McCormick didn't hear Shapiro's comments but prides himself on bipartisanship. He cordially shared a stage this week with Democrat Senator John Fetterman. 'You know, there'll be opportunities to punch, opportunities to tell each side how they're failing the people of Pennsylvania,' McCormick said. ' But more than anything else, I think the expectation is we're going to solve problems and you can't do that if you're just highly partisan in the way you conduct yourself.' An approach the Governor has mostly taken with the President. Mostly. 'I will not be afraid to stand up to them when they do something that undermines the interests of Pennsylvanians,' said Shapiro.

Subscribe Now McCormick came to Fetterman's defense on X, calling the recent reports concerning Fetterman's mental health 'vicious, personal attacks.' It's time to put politics aside and stop these vicious, personal attacks against Senator Fetterman, his wife, and his health. While we have many differences, we are both committed to working together to achieve results for the people of Pennsylvania and make their lives better. He is authentic, decent, principled, and a fighter. These disgraceful smears against him are not the John that I know and respect. Sen. Dave McCormick via X The Associated Press reported that Fetterman had an 'outburst' during a meeting with Teachers' Union officials last week after an attendee of the meeting reported that Fetterman began repeating himself, shouting 'why does everybody hate me, what did I ever do,' and slamming his hands on a desk. The New York Magazine also published a report stating that former staff and political advisors to Fetterman voiced concerns regarding his mental health. The Democratic Senator has been open about his struggles with his mental health in the past, and he was hospitalized for treatment of clinical depression in 2023. The FreeStore, opened by Senator John Fetterman's wife, Gisele, to distribute free clothing and food in Braddock, was also vandalized in early April. Sen. Fetterman posted a photo on social media of a banner placed in the store, which called the two 'Genocide John' and 'Genocide Gisele.' Fetterman has said he believes he's still fit to serve in the Senate, a term that runs through 2028. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
