Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) this week suggested he’ll stay away from pushing progressive priorities in Pennsylvania if Democrats hit a trifecta in the battleground state’s upcoming midterm elections.

Democrats currently control the governor’s seat and the state legislature’s lower chamber. Should his party secure power over the state Senate as well on Tuesday, Shapiro told Semafor he wouldn’t focus on advancing a stream of progressive bills, as Democrats in some swing states have done after winning the legislature.
