Trump Makes New Endorsement

At a high-energy rally in Pittsburgh, President Donald J. Trump made headlines once again—this time by endorsing Pennsylvania Congressman Dan Meuser for a possible run for governor in 2026.

With the crowd fired up, Trump teased the possibility:

“I heard a little rumor—Dan’s thinking about running for governor,” he said with a smile.
“If that’s your decision, you’ve got my full support. You’ll win. The people are going to get it real fast.”

Strong Conservative Leadership Backed by Trump

Meuser, a lifelong conservative and proven public servant, has represented Pennsylvania’s 9th Congressional District since 2019. Before that, he served as Secretary of Revenue for the state under a Republican administration, where he earned a reputation for fiscal discipline and taxpayer advocacy.

President Trump praised Meuser’s track record:

“He’s been a terrific congressman. Smart, tough, loyal to the people—and he loves Pennsylvania.”

Meuser Eyes 2026 Showdown Against Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro

Though Meuser has not officially announced his candidacy, he confirmed in January that a 2026 bid is under serious consideration.

“I’m considering it,” Meuser told The Hill. “If I get in, it’s because I believe I can win—and that means beating Josh Shapiro. It’s not easy, but it’s possible.”

Shapiro’s Progressive Agenda Faces Mounting Scrutiny

Current Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro defeated Republican Doug Mastriano in 2022 with 56% of the vote. However, many conservatives believe that Shapiro’s left-leaning policies and growing national ambitions have moved Pennsylvania in the wrong direction.

Shapiro is now being floated as a possible Democrat candidate for president in 2028, raising concerns among voters who feel forgotten by progressive elites in Washington and Harrisburg.

2026 Race Could Be a Turning Point for Pennsylvania

A Meuser campaign would offer voters a clear, common-sense alternative: conservative values, economic responsibility, and strong leadership backed by President Trump himself.

For Pennsylvania’s working families, retirees, and small business owners, the 2026 election could mark a return to prosperity, safety, and freedom.
