Gov. Shapiro Responds to Donald Trump's Election Conspiracies

Published | Video Starts at 08:06

I just want to remind you, Joe, Ken Paxton engaged in a campaign of sedition back in the 2020 election when he filed as Attorney General of Texas. He filed with the courts to throw out the votes of the people of Pennsylvania. I fought Ken Paxton. I won, and we protected the votes here in Pennsylvania. And I sure as hell hope the people of Texas stand up and vote against him in this election and vote for James Talarico. (08:06–08:11)
