Shapiro Rebukes Biden-Harris Over Broadband Delivery, Says Pennsylvania Got 'Zero' Connections

The critique comes during a media tour tied to his forthcoming memoir.

Overview

  • Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said on the Raging Moderates podcast that the Biden-Harris administration failed to deliver results people could "see or feel."
  • He pointed to broadband as his chief example, noting 246,000 homes and businesses lack access and asserting that zero Pennsylvanians have been connected under President Biden’s infrastructure law.
  • Shapiro contrasted his approach by citing state achievements, including seven tax cuts, improved school indicators, a pledge to hire 2,000 police officers, a 12% drop in violent crime, and a 43% decline in fatal gun violence.
  • Fox News reported that broadband rollout delays in Pennsylvania were attributed in part to federal rules changes, administrative bottlenecks, and a shifting technology focus.
  • A Democratic strategist quoted by Fox News called Shapiro’s comments "pretty weird and bizarre," as his remarks coincided with promotion of his memoir and ongoing 2028 speculation.
