Transcript: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," Nov. 1, 2026

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said he’s running as a “Get Stuff Done Democrat” and is focused on voters’ real-world issues rather than opposing President Donald Trump. In an interview for “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” on Nov. 1, 2026, Shapiro pointed to what he described as Democratic plans to expand access to health care and create accountability in Washington, aimed at reducing corruption and stopping funds from being diverted from people’s pockets. He said Democrats are aiming to win House seats in Pennsylvania, with four competitive districts drawing the most attention and possibly five in play. Shapiro criticized Republicans’ “trifecta” outcomes and argued that a Congress check could help roll back Medicaid and SNAP cuts.
