Shapiro launches super PAC as presidential speculation mounts
The new federal PAC lets Shapiro directly support four Pennsylvania House candidates as he builds a national profile and eyes a possible 2028 presidential run.
- On Friday, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro launched New Path PAC, a federal political action committee designed to support four Democratic candidates in Pennsylvania's 1st, 7th, 8th, and 10th Congressional Districts.
- Federal campaign finance laws prevent Shapiro from transferring his $60 million state-level war chest to federal races, making the new PAC necessary to directly support Democratic congressional candidates.
- Political observers view the launch as Shapiro's "strongest signal yet" of a 2028 presidential run, mirroring recent federal PAC creations by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and other prospective Democratic candidates.
- During a debate last week, Shapiro declined to pledge a full four-year term as governor, insisting his "lone focus" remains flipping the House while attacking Donald Trump's "chaos, cruelty, and corruption."
- Marshall Cohen, the PAC's executive director, stated the committee aims to help elect leaders who will "place a check on Donald Trump" and secure a Congressional majority this November.
