PROSPERITY, Pennsylvania — Just under 48 hours after Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) ripped the bark off the tree in his speech at Temple University’s Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, where he told the crowd he “loved being their governor” and endorsed the Harris-Walz Democratic ticket, the Pennsylvania chief executive was in tiny Washington County, Pennsylvania. His venue was a training center highlighting the investments in vo-tech training included in the bipartisan budget he signed into law last month.

In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Shapiro said he wanted to speak from the heart during his Temple University speech, which was met with thunderous applause, and he did.
