Josh Shapiro in CBS "Face the Nation" interviews for 2024 races


On Drugs: Understand that drug addiction is a disease, not a crime

First, we have to understand that drug addiction is a disease, not a crime. Now, we have to invest in law enforcement. And I have. We've increased the number of state troopers by 400 and I'm looking to add another 400. As attorney general, I arrested over 8,000 drug dealers. So, we're not going soft on those who are peddling these poisons in our community. But we also have to make sure that treatment is available.

On Energy & Oil: Climate change is real and we have to address it

Let me be very clear, climate change is real, it is serious and we have to address it. And Joe Biden understand that. Donald Trump has made fun of climate change and denies its existence. Because of the federal dollars that have flowed to Pennsylvania we are positioned to get two regional hydrogen hubs that are going to help us combat climate change. So, when it comes to the kind of investments that are going to help spur on a clean energy economy, President Biden has been there.
