How a Pennsylvania Supreme Court election could influence the 2028 presidential race
A normally low-key Pennsylvania Supreme Court race to determine whether three Democratic justices will remain on the bench for another 10-year term is drawing attention from across the political spectrum amid speculation about the role the court could play in the swing state leading up to the 2028 presidential election.
In a new video advertisement, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro implores voters to "vote yes" on retaining Justices Christine Donahue, Kevin Dougherty and David Wecht.
"Here in Pennsylvania, the threats to our freedoms are very real. That's why we need to keep our state Supreme Court standing up for what's right," he said in the video, adding that the justices will "protect a woman's access to abortion and birth control and stand up for all our freedoms."
The justices are not facing off against any opponents. Instead, voters will simply respond "yes" or "no" to whether they wish for the three incumbents to remain on the state's highest court.
