Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) has hinted at a potential 2028 presidential bid, stating he wants to be part of the party's debate about its direction as Democrats struggle to find a way forward. This comment came during a fireside chat with Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network’s (NAN) annual convention in New York City. Shapiro argued that Democrats should not only criticize President Trump but also address what they are planning to do to improve people's lives. He also emphasized that he is focused on his own reelection in November and called for midterms to be a national referendum on Donald Trump.
