Josh Shapiro refuses to commit to finishing term as governor — similar to another 2028 hopeful

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Maryland Governor Wes Moore have both declined to explicitly commit to serving full four-year terms if re-elected, fueling speculation regarding potential 2028 presidential runs. During recent debates, both governors emphasized their current commitment to their respective states while avoiding direct promises to remain in office through the end of their second terms. Shapiro also criticized his opponent, State Treasurer Stacy Garrity, for running for governor before finishing her current term. These developments occur as high-profile figures, including former President Barack Obama, provide endorsements for Shapiro ahead of the midterm elections.
