Pennsylvania State Police are searching for an arsonist who caused significant damage to Gov. Josh Shapiro’s official residence in Harrisburg. Shapiro and his family were evacuated safely after being woken up by banging on the door in the early hours of the morning. The governor, who is Jewish, had shared Passover well wishes just hours before the attack.
State police are offering a $10,000 reward for information, and have confirmed that the incident was an act of arson. Shapiro, a Democrat who was elected governor in 2022 after serving as the state’s attorney general, is a relatively popular governor with a favorable approval rating.
Shapiro is well-liked by the people of Pennsylvania, with a stronger approval rating than even pop sensation Taylor Swift, according to a poll by the Philadelphia Inquirer. He was reportedly considered for a vice presidential run alongside Kamala Harris in the last presidential race, but Harris ultimately chose someone else.
The investigation into the arson attack on the governor’s residence is ongoing, and authorities are working with multiple agencies to find the person responsible. This is a developing story, so more updates are expected in the future.
