Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, seen as a potential contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, has openly criticized the current administration for failing to deliver tangible results that Americans can 'see or feel.' In a recent interview promoting his memoir, Shapiro highlighted the lack of progress in expanding high-speed, affordable internet in rural communities, despite the passage of a major infrastructure bill. He contrasted his own hands-on, results-driven approach with what he described as the former president's less effective governing style.

Shapiro's remarks have sparked pushback from Democratic strategists, who noted his previous support for the same legislation he now critiques. The governor's memoir also reveals behind-the-scenes considerations about his own presidential ambitions, including his decision not to challenge for the 2024 nomination and details about the vice-presidential vetting process. The book includes further criticisms of the former vice president, adding to ongoing tensions within the party.
