Governor Josh Shapiro in Conversation with Gayle King: Where We Keep the Light

Published | Video Starts at 38:41

I went 43 and oh. And we had a free and fair, safe and secure election. These people do not respect you or your vote, and they tried to overturn it. So Two months ago, when the Justice Department, at Trump's direction, demanded that I turn over all of the private voter data for Pennsylvanians, I said no. And the Department of Justice sued us. We'll see them in court. I am unwilling to compromise my legal responsibility, the people of Pennsylvania, and turn over this information to this Justice Department, where I believe they will use it for. (38:41–38:54)
