Shapiro Eyes Minimum Wage Hike If Dems Sweep

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro told Semafor that if Democrats win full control, he'll keep things to a few priorities. Raising the minimum wage leads the list, followed by a housing and infrastructure fund and a way for sexual abuse survivors to confront their abusers in court. Democrats still have to flip three state Senate seats in November. A party that usually wants a law for every fence post is suddenly promising restraint. Pennsylvania's minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, according to the Washington Examiner, where Shapiro said, 'I want to raise your minimum wage.' On my ranch, a hand gets a raise because he earned it, not because somebody promised it at a rally. Don't count your chickens before they hatch, Josh.
