The first-term governor's visit to an early presidential nominating state comes amid buzz that he may one day seek the Oval Office.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to speak to Granite Staters at this critical time for both New Hampshire and our nation’s future and rally with them behind Democratic candidates who, like me, believe government can be a productive force for good,” Shapiro said in Tuesday's statement.
The visit also is the first to New Hampshire for Shapiro, a former state attorney general, who is likely to play a key role in Democrats’ 2024 efforts andthe party’s top contenders for its presidential nomination in 2028. Shapiro, 50, has batted down questions about any presidential ambitions dating to his campaign for governor last year.“I am governor,” he added, “and God willing will continue to be governor for a long time.”Meghan Meehan-Draper, the executive director of the Democratic Governors Association, said in a statement Tuesday that Shapiro"knows how to win tough races."
"We’re excited to see him bring his winning record to New Hampshire, one of the most critical battlegrounds in the country," she said,"where Granite Staters have a chance to elect a governor who will defend their rights and tackle the most pressing challenges facing their state.”
