"One of the biggest things holding back our rural communities is a lack of high-speed, affordable internet," Shapiro said as he pointed to his home state.
The governor added that he "was incredibly proud of President Biden when they got that infrastructure bill passed to provide the billions of dollars that were needed to plug everybody in, connect everybody in Pennsylvania."
But he added, "Do you know how many people... this many years later, have been connected to high-speed affordable internet thanks to President Biden’s law in Pennsylvania? Zero. Because the dollars were never driven out."
JOSH SHAPIRO ACCUSES HARRIS' VETTING TEAM OF MAKING DISRESPECTFUL COMMENTARY TOWARDS HIS WIFE
Shapiro used the episode to contrast the former president's style of governing with his own.
"That broadband example is just one where I think there's a real difference in approach. I'm about concrete, get sh-- done, show your work, and not just talking about it," the governor added.

Shapiro was among a handful of top Democrats that Harris seriously considered as her running mate, before she chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
The former vice president alleged in "107 Days," her memoir that was published last year, that during the running mate vetting process Shapiro insisted on being "in the room for every decision" if he were to become vice president.

Shapiro in an interview late last year rejected her claims as "bulls---" and "blatant lies."
And Shapiro’s book includes critiques of Harris, including the accusation that during the Harris team’s vice-presidential vetting process, Shapiro was asked if he had ever been an agent of the state of Israel.
