Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) appeared to position himself as a Make America Healthy Again (MAHA)-style Democrat as speculation continues to swirl about potential 2028 presidential contenders.
In a Monday episode of GZERO Media, Shapiro claimed that Democrats are the party of “real freedom,” including allowing parents to make their own decisions about vaccines for their children.
“I think Democrats are the party of real freedom, real freedom that allows women to make decisions over their own bodies, allows parents like me and my wife, Lori, to make decisions over what vaccines our kids are going to be able to get,” Shapiro said.
His remarks are notable because parental authority over vaccine decisions has become one of the defining issues of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement. Kennedy and his supporters have repeatedly argued that families, rather than government officials, should have the final say over medical decisions involving their children.
Discussing vaccines in an interview in March, Kennedy said, “I’m a freedom-of-choice person. We should have transparency. We should have informed choice, and if people don’t want it, the government shouldn’t force them to do it.”
Shapiro’s comments come amid continued speculation about his political future. It was reported in January that his 2026 reelection campaign was widely viewed as a stepping stone to a potential White House run, noting that he launched his campaign “as 2028 White House buzz swirls.”
While Shapiro is frequently mentioned as a potential 2028 contender, a recent poll showed him with only 3% support among Democrat voters. The survey was dominated by former Vice President Kamala Harris at 37%, followed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom at 17%.

“Democrats” and “Freedom” in the same sentence just doesn’t work.
I’m pretty sure this is a Clinton plan.
The base will never back him.
“”I think Democrats are the party of real freedom””

No, Josh. Democrats are the party of bald-faced lies and tyranny. Real freedom ....like free speech without being accused of hate speech, not being forced to bake a cake for perverts, not having to take a vaccine to keep your job, not having your kids be indoctrinated or ‘transitioned’ to the opposite sex by leftist cretins, and not being invaded by hoards of 3rd world invaders that will rape, steal and murder you and yours... comes from the only party that actually cares about freedom... and that sure as hell is NOT the Democrat Party. But thanks for your version of taqiyyah. Totally expected deception coming from a typical lying leftist.

Democrats - Work is Freedom
“I think Democrats are the party of real freedom...”
Like forced vaxes to keep your job. Shutting down the economy and forbidding gatherings. Prevent loved ones from visiting ill relative in nursing homes. Trying to steal our 2nd (and now 1st) amendments rights. Yeah, that is freedom.
He also talks about lowering the political violence. Says there have been threats against both parties — he includes his family, Trump and others. What he fails to mention is that 99% of the political violence is against conservatives/republicans.
He’s just trying to position himself as a centrist. I’ll add that no governor has been bent over backwards for muslims like he has. He’s given muslims state taxpayer dollars to fund their projects.
He was also the AG of PA that bent voting laws without the authority. Only the legislature could legally do that. Trump may have won PA if not for the cheating he allowed.
I have little doubt that he’s running. He kisses muslim asses so that being Jewish doesn’t hurt his chances.
Pure unadulterated BS.
“”I’ll add that no governor has been bent over backwards for muslims like he has. He’s given muslims state taxpayer dollars to fund their projects.””

Walz has...as measured by the level of fraud allowed by Muslims from places like Somalia.
That's exactly how Spamburger got elected in Virginia.
Does that include the freedom to carry a gun?
True but Walz is politically done. Shapiro will be a serious contender for president or VP. He is slick like obama but just as liberal. He goes overboard for muslims with taxpayer money to show he’s not biased against them.
And PA is different from MN. There are limits to what Shapiro could pull off in PA but MN is totally insane.
Seems like the headline should read, “Gov. Josh Shapiro Wakes Up From 80 Year Coma and Thinks Democrats Are the Party of Vaccine ‘Freedom’”
“”True but Walz is politically done. Shapiro will be a serious contender for president or VP. He is slick like obama but just as liberal. He goes overboard for muslims with taxpayer money to show he’s not biased against them.

I don’t know about Walz being politically done. Like a bad smell you can’t get rid of (Seinfeld Episode “The Smelly Car”).... Walz will hang around inflicting us with his odious presence forfreakinever... until he dies... just like most of the other high profile Democrats have done.
I don’t think Shapiro will ever be VP and I suspect they’re going to try to get Newscum or some equally leftist rat into the WH. Most likely it will be a female, like Spanberger, and I doubt that Abigail would choose Josh as a running mate, but who knows. What I do know is, that Spanberger would be even worse than Newscum, as hard as that is to imagine.
And yes, MN is totally insane.... with California close behind and NYC right on its tails. What do these areas have in common? The usual... America’s enemy within in command and control.
Full interview here:
plus, the right will get chastised for being ‘anti-semitic’ for not supporting Shapiro in the race, so it will be a win-win for the left...
This guy is all over the map. That little Jew hating Jew. I wish he would just leave our great State.
He’s slick
