Governor Josh Shapiro

Here in Illinois, we raised the minimum wage to $15. We should be talking about that, doing that nationally. We should be talking about the idea that we want higher wages for people. Republicans want lower wages. There are many Republicans, if you just survey the Congress, they're opposed to raising the minimum wage, and many of them would like to get rid of the minimum wage.

So I think just messaging was a little off, maybe a lot off in 2024, and I think lesson learned by a lot of folks. But for me, it's what we've been doing in Illinois for the last six years.

Yeah. You know, I was asked the other day if I could say something to Donald Trump, you know, one question, what would it be? And I said, what does Putin have on you? Because Donald Trump has literally changed our alliances entirely, switching sides. You know, we used to be the country that stands up for the good guys, that stands with our allies. Ukraine is our ally.

Europe, Western Europe, all of Europe, really, those are our allies. Why did Donald Trump switch sides and choose not the good guys, but the villain, Vladimir Putin? And everybody understands, everybody rational understands that Vladimir Putin is trying to put together the old Russian empire. And he has been feeling that and wanting to do that since he took power many years ago.

And Donald Trump is literally handing it to him when he hands him the power to control the peacemaking with Ukraine. And I'm Ukrainian-American. I have to say my family escaped being killed in Ukraine by Russians. And this country offered us the safety and security that so many refugees have been able to obtain by coming to the United States.

And we have stood with Ukraine for more than 10 years in their battle for democracy. And the question I guess I would ask is, if you're willing to hand the keys to Europe over to Vladimir Putin, what's next? Where does this end? And how does the United States retain its leadership in the world when essentially he's retreating entirely to the borders of the United States.

He's even made enemies now of the Canadians. I mean, I can't imagine anything more telling than, you know, having such a close relationship, probably one of our closest allies in the world, certainly in the Western hemisphere. you know, we now are, you know, we've now made enemies of our friends. Europe is going it alone and trying to figure out how to deal with Putin. What happened?

What happened? And so Donald Trump, all I can say is he must, you know, have read the wrong books, listened to the wrong people, and certainly misunderstands the importance of leading in a, you know, in a world that needs a leader of a free world.
