Josh Shapiro’s record shows him to be one of the most radical politicians out there but he fools many as being a “moderate” because of his focus on messaging.
Pennsylvania (my home state) has over 1.5 million independent voters, making up almost 17% of the total electorate.
If you want to win elections, you have to win moderate voters.
Moderate voters flatly rejected the far-right messaging that captured the last two years of the Trump administration and turned winning policies into political liabilities.
Continuing to push the same message—and elevating the same people—doesn’t look like a winning strategy if anyone on the right is serious about regrouping for the 2028 election.
This from Shapiro is worth noticing:
“We're putting a check on Donald Trump's corruption and his small, selfish enablers – and we're ready to move this country forward in a better, more hopeful, more positive direction.”
Americans are tired of reactionary, angry messaging. They want hope. They want normalcy.
Owning the libs might get clicks but it’s not convincing voters.

Congratulations Pennsylvania, as you now see the Democrat priorities. Not cheaper gas or utility prices, not better infrastructure, not affordable housing or better schools.
Abortion, raising a minimum wage no one makes, and having the state pay for Philidelpia and Pittsburghs mass transit.
TRIFECTA DELIVERED.
Pennsylvanians just came together to flip the State Senate for the first time in over THREE DECADES — delivering a Democratic trifecta that’s ready to raise the minimum wage, codify reproductive freedom, invest in mass transit, and so much more.
I’m so proud to have supported Chris Thomas, Eileen Hartnett Albillar, Mark Pinsley, and Brian Wrightson from Day One in their campaigns.
Now, the real work begins — and we’re ready to get shit done.

Not what you want to hear, but this is after 16 years of them losing everything they had.
And even so, their gains are almost exclusively in Philly and collar counties or Pittsburgh. Some slippage in the center near Harrisburg. The key bellwethers remain right of where they were in 2024.
This is the impact of urban voter registration efforts they’ve put in motion to stop the bleeding. The good news is that the GOP is still adding registrants.
I would expect the Dem gains to reverse after the midterm.
Specificity matters.
I asked this back in June and will will ask again.
What is the @PAGOP doing to stop these brutal registration losses? It seems like you have all but given up. It is one thing to have a few bad weeks here and there, but we have been consistently getting beaten for months now.

Education isn't ‘one size fits all.’ Every student has different learning needs. The Federal Scholarship Tax Credit will provide scholarships for tuition or supplies to students attending:
✅Private school
✅Public
✅Charter/cyber charter
✅Career technical

Make no mistake, if Democrats take control of the Senate, they'll eliminate school choice.

Indeed. Just release a poll showing overwhelming opposition to public charter cuts: 55 percent oppose the proposed $500 million cut, including part of Shapiro’s proposal, outlined in HB 2634, compared to 29 percent in support—a 26-point margin of opposition. commonwealthfoundation.org/2…

750,000 doors in PA to give the RED WALL the energy it needs.
That's what I'm doing.
1. Defeat Shapiro
2. Hold the 3 Congressional swing districts
3. Hold the State Senate
4. Flip the State House

Just a little reminder about the PSBA and their little Keystone Pa charter change anti school choice project.

Looks like the domain is parked and they are scrubbing their website. Haven’t checked the Wayback machine yet but this smells like corruption. Why aren’t they held to the same standards? @PASenateGOP @PAHouseGOP

Every student? That’s a bold LIE.
You cut funding to over 65,000 children in k-12 education. Even when it was one of your campaign promises. Parents are paying attention.

It’s also quite the inconvenient fact for the Dems that Shapiro proposed using PTTF money in his budget just a few months ago.

The full @PASenateGOP Majority passed a responsible budget & immediate way to fund transportation infrastructure & mass transit without taking any more from taxpayers. Democrats need to stop grandstanding at press conferences & start to seriously engage at the negotiating table.

The IFO reduced it's official estimate by $625 million--that's $44.6 billion (or $6.9 billion less than @GovernorShapiro proposed spending). Counting the proposed SEPTA bailout creates a $7.1 billion deficit.
Massive tax hikes in 2026 if Shapiro's budget would become law.
Monthly and quarterly revenue distributions based on the FY 2025-26 projections contained in the Official Revenue Estimate published by the IFO on June 20, 2025 and the impact of statutory changes enacted with federal H.R. 1. See: ifo.state.pa.us/Resources/Do…

Peace is breaking out. Our border is closed down. We are developing our own energy. Men are out of women’s sports. The market is booming. Wholesale price of eggs are down 53%. 600 terrorists have been removed. Man I hate @JDVance and @realDonaldTrump

The use of a SEPTA shutdown as budget leverage was a huge miscalculation by the administration.
RT @PAGOP: 🎉 Happy Birthday to Governor Josh Shapiro and Happy National Flip Flop Day! 🩴
No surprise these two fall on the same day, Shapi…
