While President Trump barely has his feet under the Resolute Desk, ambitious Democrats are already plotting their 2028 presidential campaigns – and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro just gave away the game with a calculated White House visit that screams political opportunism.
Shapiro made the trip to Washington Friday alongside Maryland Governor Wes Moore, another Democrat eyeing a White House run, ostensibly to discuss electricity prices with Trump's administration. But Patriots, let's call this what it really is: a photo-op designed to boost Shapiro's national profile while Trump does the heavy lifting to fix America's energy mess.
The Pennsylvania governor is trying to position himself as a "moderate" who can work across the aisle – a classic Democrat playbook move when they're out of power. But don't be fooled by this political theater. This is the same party that spent four years calling Trump a fascist and now suddenly wants to play nice when it serves their electoral ambitions.
Energy Crisis Democrats Created
It's rich that Shapiro is now concerned about electricity prices when his own party spent years pushing the green energy scam that's driving up costs for working families. Trump inherited an energy disaster from the Biden regime, and now Democrats want to swoop in and take credit for any solutions.
The meeting focused on pressuring PJM Interconnection, the regional grid operator, but here's what really matters: Trump is the one actually taking action to restore American energy dominance while Democrats like Shapiro position themselves for future campaigns.
"This is classic Democrat opportunism – create the problem, then show up when Republicans fix it and try to take credit."
Shapiro's 2028 ambitions aren't exactly a secret in political circles, and this White House visit confirms he's already working to rehabilitate his image after his party's devastating 2024 losses. But will voters really forget which party brought us sky-high energy costs and which one is bringing back American energy independence?
The fact that both Shapiro and Moore – two likely 2028 contenders – showed up together tells you everything you need to know about Democrat desperation to stay relevant while Trump gets back to work for the American people.
