Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro to campaign for Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin
Watch: Gov. Josh Shapiro full speech at DNC convention
Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania governor, took the stage at the Democratic National Convention to show his support for Kamala Harris.
MADISON — Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a former Democratic vice presidential short-lister, will campaign in south-central Wisconsin with U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin on Saturday.
The Baldwin campaign shared with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Shapiro will join Baldwin at a meet-and-greet in Richland County on Saturday morning and a picnic with supporters from Iowa and Lafayette counties later that afternoon.
“At both events they will talk about the stakes of the upcoming election and the issues most important to voters this fall. They will also highlight their shared commitment to focusing on the priorities of all Americans and winning votes in all communities,” the Baldwin campaign said in a statement.
Less than two months from the Nov. 5 election, Baldwin maintains a slight lead over Republican challenger businessman Eric Hovde, according to a Marquette University Law School poll of Wisconsin voters released last week.
Baldwin led Hovde among registered voters 52%-48% and among likely voters 52-47%. That showed little change since the last Marquette poll conducted in August, which had Baldwin leading Hovde among registered voters 53% to 46% and among likely voters 52% to 47%.
The results included voters who were initially undecided and were asked who they would vote for if they had to choose. Without factoring in the 8% of registered voters undecided between Baldwin and Hovde, Baldwin led 48-44%. The polling was concluded before Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump debated.
In the latest poll, Baldwin was viewed favorably by 47% of voters, compared to 44% in August. She was also viewed unfavorably by 46%. About 7% of voters had no opinion of her, compared to 12% in August.
The Baldwin-Hovde race is closely watched as one that could help determine the balance of power in the Senate, where Baldwin is seeking her third term.
Baldwin and Hovde will meet for a debate on Oct. 18 in Madison hosted by the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association Foundation, which will be televised and broadcast on radio throughout the state.

GIANT Company closing five Pennsylvania fulfilment centers
(WHTM) — The GIANT Company recently confirmed that it will be closing five of its Pennsylvania-based fulfillment centers.
According to The GIANT Company, these Pennsylvania fulfillment centers that will be closing down include locations in Lancaster, Philadelphia, Willow Grove, Coopersburg, and North Coventry.
The company will also be closing its centralized e-commerce fulfillment operations in Manassas, Virginia, per a press release.
A spokesperson with GIANT says these upcoming closures are the result of a company decision to transition fully to store-based fulfilment, as opposed to centralized fulfilment.
“We’ve learned over the past few years that there isn’t a one size fits all approach to our e-commerce business, particularly our fulfillment model” The GIANT Company said in an email. “With customers expecting faster delivery, we need to ensure we are operating as efficiently as possible to meet their ever-changing needs. ”
The GIANT Company adds that orders will now be “shopped” by GIANT Direct team members in store, and delivered orders will now be completed by a third-party instead of a GIANT Direct driver.
Some benefits of this change include faster delivery times, expanded assortment, delivery windows are now only one hour, and customers will be able to make changes to an order 2-3 hours before the delivery window, instead of the previous 4-6 hours window.
According to The GIANT Company, these fulfillment centers will continue to operate into early next year, with most closures occurring by the end of Q1 in 2026.
The fulfillment center in Lancaster County is expected to wind down operations by the end of April 2026, affecting 81 team members.
According to a WARN Notice filed with the Department of Labor & Industry, the GIANT fulfillment center located in Philadelphia will close down on February 13, a move that will affect 128 employees.
The GIANT Company notes that its focus now is to support team members affected by this transition.
“E-commerce remains an important segment of our business strategy and key to our future omnichannel growth,” The GIANT Company added. “We remain committed to providing an outstanding experience to our customers by offering speedy delivery, more delivery windows, broad product assortment and value.”

Pennsylvania GOP Reps buck party on health care subsidies
Although he voted for the first iteration of the bill, which cut funding for Medicaid and Medicare, Fitzpatrick ultimately voted against it a few months later. Mackenzie and Bresnahan, however, did vote for its ultimate passage, which their opponents have been quick to jump on.
“Rob Bresnahan unleashed a health care crisis on Northeastern Pennsylvania by voting for the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, stripping funding from our rural hospitals, and failing to take meaningful action in time to prevent health care costs from skyrocketing for Northeastern Pennsylvanians next month,” Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti said in a statement.
“Ryan Mackenzie’s eleventh hour attempt to paper over his own record of gutting health care and jacking up costs is like an arsonist calling the fire department after he already lit the match,” said firefighter Bob Brooks, who is running to replace Mackenzie. “Hardworking people all across the Lehigh Valley are struggling with rising prices and a health care crisis that Mackenzie unleashed when he voted for Trump’s so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’”
Neither Fitzpatrick nor Bresnahan responded to WHYY News’ requests for comment, but Mackenzie replied with a statement in which he called the health care crisis “a serious issue with real-world consequences” and said “we must find commonsense, bipartisan solutions to protect access to health insurance for families in the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos.”
Mackenzie’s office pushed back on the characterization that the congressman waited until “the 11th hour,” arguing he has spent several months working with members on both sides of the aisle to find a bipartisan compromise. They also pointed out that Mackenzie participated in a televised town hall in September, during which he discussed the impending health care crisis.
Sans bipartisan compromise, Mackenzie called the three-year extension “the only remaining option.” He further blamed Democrats for failing to sign onto his efforts for compromise that would include “longer-term reforms that reduce costs.”
“The Affordable Care Act remains broken, and our health care system is in urgent need of reforms that improve transparency, expand choice, and reduce costs,” he said. “Supporting this discharge petition is currently the only way to keep discussions about bipartisan reforms alive.”
Harvie disputes that contention and that the “so-called problem solvers” among the Republican Party have their constituents’ best interests at heart.
“The Republican party’s been trying to kill the Affordable Care Act since it was originally passed, and I think this is just another step of what they’re trying to do and they’re trying to make it look like they’re not doing it,” he said. “Democrats have been fighting for people to have access to health care access that really is meaningful to expand health care opportunities for people.”
