Josh Shapiro on Trump’s Inauguration: A Call for Collaboration and Defending Freedoms

Governor Josh Shapiro Congratulates President Trump on Inauguration, Pledges Commitment to Pennsylvania’s Progress

Following the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro issued a statement reaffirming the importance of democracy, collaboration, and his commitment to advancing the interests of Pennsylvanians.

Celebrating Democracy and Unity

Governor Shapiro began by recognizing the peaceful transfer of power as a cornerstone of American democracy.

“For the 47th time in our nation’s history, we have inaugurated a new president, completing the peaceful transfer of power and proving that our democracy continues to endure,” Shapiro said. “As Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania — the birthplace of that democracy — I want to congratulate President Trump on his inauguration. President Trump, after being duly elected by the American people, now holds the sacred duty of leading this nation forward for the next four years.”

A Focus on Bipartisan Progress

Shapiro highlighted his administration’s achievements in addressing critical issues over the past two years. These include bipartisan efforts to reduce taxes, invest in education, improve public safety, create jobs, and stimulate economic growth.

“As Governor, I have a responsibility to serve the people of Pennsylvania — and I go to work every single day focused on making life better and delivering results for them,” Shapiro said. “I remain committed to those commonsense Pennsylvania priorities, and where our priorities are aligned, I stand ready to work with the Trump Administration to continue our progress here in Pennsylvania.”

Defending Freedoms and Promoting Opportunity

While extending an olive branch of cooperation to the new administration, Shapiro emphasized his dedication to protecting fundamental freedoms and ensuring opportunities for all Pennsylvanians.

“At the same time, as I have done throughout my career, I will always defend our fundamental freedoms and stand up to efforts to erode them,” he asserted. “I will continue our work to build a Commonwealth where all Pennsylvanians have the freedom to chart their own course and the opportunity to succeed.”

A Call for Unity

Shapiro closed his statement with a message of unity, urging Americans to focus on shared priorities that transcend political divides.

“I believe there’s more that unites us as Americans than divides us,” he said. “As the Trump Administration begins its work, we must focus on the commonsense issues that bring people together to move our Commonwealth and our country forward.”

Shapiro’s message underscores a vision of collaboration and progress as Pennsylvania navigates its role in this new chapter of national leadership.
