HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHP) — Former President Barack Obama is endorsing Josh Shapiro for reelection in Pennsylvania.
The former president released a video on Friday saying Gov. Shapiro has “gotten stuff done for the people of Pennsylvania.”
In the 45 second video, Obama also talked about how Shapiro was one of his earliest supporters, something the Governor wrote about in his book released earlier this year.
Obama isn’t the only president to get involved in the Pennsylvania Gubernatorial Race.
President Donald Trump endorsed Republican candidate and state treasurer Stacy Garrity.
In a video posted to Truth Social, Trump praised Garrity saying she wouldn’t let down the people of Pennsylvania.
Recent polling has Gov. Shapiro ahead of Garrity. According to data released by Quinnipiac University on Wednesday, 59% of likely voters said they would vote for Shapiro.
