Josh Shapiro Reveals Trump Finally Called Him Following Arson At His Home
HuffPost
The president had not reached out to the Democratic governor in the immediate aftermath of the attack.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) on Tuesday said President Donald Trump called him on Saturday, about a week after the arson attack at his home in Harrisburg, describing him as “very gracious.”
Shapiro told reporters that he “appreciated” Trump’s gesture to reach out over the weekend, adding that he didn’t immediately pick up his call.
“I actually didn’t take his call because it came from his cellphone, and I didn’t have that number in my phone, so I didn’t know who it was,” Shapiro said. “As soon as I heard his message, called him right back.”
The governor said Trump was “very gracious,” and wanted to know how his wife and children were doing following the attack.
We “talked for a couple minutes about what transpired at the residence, and then we talked about for maybe the next 15 minutes or so about a whole host of other topics,” Shapiro said.
