Shapiro said Pennsylvania has enjoyed "free and fair" elections – and added that Trump has both won and lost the commonwealth in contests throughout his political career.
"For him to try and put more misinformation out there, to stoke more division and fear amongst people who want to exercise their constitutional right to pick the leaders in their communities and in their commonwealth – that is just cynical and wrong."
Shapiro said any Trump order will have "no bearing" on Keystone State elections, and that he will support county election officials in all 67 counties in permitting mail-in voting.

On Monday, Trump foreshadowed changes to the election system, pledging to "lead a movement to get rid of mail-in ballots."
Trump wrote on Truth Social he would sign an executive order in that regard to "help bring honesty to the 2026 midterm elections," and said states are "merely agent[s]" for the federal government.
