(The Center Square) - At a rally launching Gov. Josh Shapiro and Lt. Gov. Austin Davis’s re-election campaign Thursday, the stakes were made clear: the 2026 election is about the trajectory of the nation as a whole. Amid swirling rumors about a presidential bid, Shapiro pledged his commitment to act as a servant leader ready for another four years in office. Over the course of the evening, speakers painted two portraits. One was Shapiro the family man guided by faith, humility, and a desire to serve. The other was a man of bravado and ambition, proud of the “sh**” he gets done. Among the victories highlighted were economic investments of more than $32 billion and the improbable twelve-day repair of a collapsed section of I-95 in Philadelphia.
