AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
Less than a year ago, in July, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro found himself in a position no politician ever wants to face.
He had to address the attempted assassination of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, which had taken place at a rally in his state. Shapiro also spoke about the murder of Corey Comperatore, a Pennsylvania husband and father who had attended the campaign event.
Shapiro, a Democrat, handled the horrific situation with grace and heartfelt emotion. And he spoke to deepening political rifts in the country.
