Josh Shapiro

I am, and without obviously divulging my private communications with other governors, and by the way, I have immense respect for Governor Whitmer.

I think she's one of the finest governors in the country and a really good friend.

We know that this president has lied about our elections.

He took me to court.

He and his allies took me to court 43 different times to try and overturn the 2020 election.

By the way, I went 43-0.

They went 0-43.

We had a free and fair, safe and secure election.

We've had elections here in Pennsylvania where sometimes Democrats win, sometimes Republicans win.

Sometimes Trump wins and sometimes Trump loses.

We know that they're going to try and undermine the midterms again with their conspiracy theories and with their bogus lawsuits.

We will be prepared again.

We are already seeing them try to undermine the rule of law and undermine our elections.

Let me explain.

They asked recently, demanded, I should say recently, all of the private voter information for Pennsylvanians, about 9 million or so registered Pennsylvania voters.

And by the way, not just Scott Detrow and what party you're registered for and how many times you voted, that's publicly available, but all of Scott's private information that the state has a legal responsibility to protect.

We refuse to turn that over because I believe they're going to use it for nefarious purposes.

And we were sued by the Department of Justice to compel us to provide that information.

We still haven't.

We're going to continue to battle in court to protect the private information of the citizens of Pennsylvania.
