Podcaster Holds Josh Shapiro’s Feet To Fire Over Broken Ties With John Fetterman

Podcast host Sam Fragoso pressed Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on why he does not talk to Democratic Sen. John Fetterman during a Sunday episode of “Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso.”

Fetterman reportedly undermined Shapiro by lobbying against him to be former Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate in 2024. Fragoso said on his show that Fetterman wrote in his 2025 book “Unfettered” that he and Shapiro do not speak, asking the governor why that was the case.

“Yeah, you got to ask him. I mean, I’ve got no beef with John,” Shapiro said. “I didn’t write about him in my book other than, you know, where we would pass an event or what have you.”

“But you’re one half of an equation,” Fragoso retorted.

Despite Fragoso’s push, Shapiro responded that he should ask Fetterman instead.

“Yeah. I don’t know. John’s got a lot of questions that I think he needs to answer for the people of Pennsylvania,” the governor said. “I think there’s a lot of people who want to know kind of what happened, why he does some of the things he does. So maybe you can add this to the list of questions for him.”

Shapiro also suggested their lack of communication did not hamper their jobs.

“I will tell you, when it comes to governing, I mean, we were in a meeting not too long ago with Secretary Duffy, the Secretary of Transportation, about an important transportation issue in our state,” he said. “I mean, our staffs work together. Like, look, if I need to go to a U.S. senator for something, of course, we’re going to go to his office, work with him, work with our other senators, Senator McCormick, and we’re going to do what we got to do to help Pennsylvania.”
