During the show, host Martha Raddatz asked the Democratic governor to comment on a New York Times article that claimed he and Fetterman “don’t speak.” Shapiro insisted the report was “not true” and was created by journalists to “conjure up a lot of drama.”<\/p>\n
Raddatz then asked whether he would support Fetterman for re-election.<\/p>\n
“Well, he has to decide if he’s seeking re-election,” Shapiro said. “That’s not for another cycle.”<\/p>\n
