He has wanted to run for the WH for the last 20 years. Being from PA I know something about him, right out of law school he went to work for then Rep Joe Hoeffel, when Hoeffel ran against Spector in 2004 Shapiro ran for the state house. The only reason he won that race was that the GOP incumbent ran for Hoeffel's house seat and lost in the primary. Had this rep remained in the state house Josh would have not beaten her. Shapiro was elected Montgomery county PA commissioner in 2011 (back dooring his mentor incumber CC Joe Hoefel) from their he won the Dem primary for AG in a multi candidate primary field. From there Gov in 2022 against a Republican who was joke of a candidate to say the least. Shapiro is smart person to be sure, but can be a real snake in the grass (more than most politics) He has never been in private practice as a lawyer. And has been blessed with ineffective GOP opposition at least up to this point.
