'There are stark differences in this election, and there is a binary choice for people in this election,' Shapiro said.
"There are stark differences in this election, and there is a binary choice for people in this election," Shapiro said. "I want to continue to build on the progress that we've made under President Biden , and that is where I continue to stand."
Shapiro spoke with Action News after signing a $47.6 billion state budget deal on Thursday night after weeks of negotiations. The budget includes historic investment in education, economic development, violence prevention, affordable housing and more."There's a lot of wins in here. There's a lot of important initiatives to people that got funded and we managed to do it by bringing people together to get things done," Shapiro said.
"I think folks are kind of frustrated with the polarization nationally. Well, they should take pride that here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we're coming together to get stuff done," the governor continued. Both Democrats, like Shapiro, and Republicans pointed out the importance of compromise given that Pennsylvania is the only state in the nation with a divided legislature.
