Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro signaled openness to abolishing the Electoral College at the Crooked Con event in Washington, D.C., saying the national popular vote makes sense, that his views have not changed since 2020, and that he will work with lawmakers on moving forward. The Washington Examiner adds that Shapiro is floated as a 2028 candidate and ties the push to tensions between centrist and socialist Democrats after the party's 2026 midterm wins.
