Pennsylvania Go. Josh Shapiro dismissed a New York Times story about his relationship with Sen. John Fetterman<\/a>, D-Pa., on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday.<\/p>\n

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

He added, “I don’t know if he’s running for re-election. I think he needs to decide if he’s running, and then we’ll make a decision from there.”<\/p>\n

Raddatz asked Shapiro to clarify whether he meant that he had not yet decided to support Fetterman.<\/p>\n

“He needs to decide if he’s running for re-election, and then we’ll make a determination thereafter,” Shapiro repeated.<\/p>\n

Though Shapiro did not answer whether he and Fetterman still speak, Shapiro described his relationship with Fetterman as “constructive.”<\/p>\n

“We have a constructive relationship to try to ensure that the people of Pennsylvania are served. He and I are obviously different people, he casts some votes and takes some positions that I strongly disagree with but at the end of the day my job is to serve the people of Pennsylvania,” Shapiro said.<\/p>\n

“I sincerely wish him the best,” Fetterman wrote. “He is a credit to the state and may one day be a credit to the country. I remember fondly the days when we were nobodies trying to climb the ladder. Even if we no longer speak.”<\/p>\n
