Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has become one of the Democratic Party's most closely watched leaders. As Democrats search for a path forward after their 2024 defeat, Shapiro argues the party should focus less on rhetoric and more on delivering tangible results for voters.

On GZERO World with Ian Bremmer, Shapiro discusses what Democrats can learn from governing in a swing state, why he believes trust in institutions is collapsing, and how government can earn that trust back. He also weighs in on the future of USMCA, the economic impact of tariffs, the war in Iran, changing US policy toward Israel, and the challenge of regulating artificial intelligence without stifling innovation. Throughout the conversation, Shapiro returns to a consistent theme: voters want leaders who can solve problems, lower costs, improve public services, and make government work. Whether discussing foreign policy, trade, AI, or the future of the Democratic Party, his argument is the same: trust is earned through results.
