Governor Josh Shapiro of Abington said he will consider legal action if the executive order to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education causes Pennsylvania to lose billions in federal funding for its schools, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

“The president indicated that they’re not going to pull back any dollars to our commonwealth. If they do, I’ll be prepared to take action,” Shapiro said. “So if anybody tries to take anything from Pennsylvanians, particularly our students, they’ll have to go through me.”

Shapiro’s lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s freeze of federal funding is still pending in federal court, The Inquirer said.

In related news, Trump is in Philadelphia today, his first Pennsylvania visit since he faced off against Kamala Harris in the final presidential debate in September.

According to The Inquirer, the purpose of Trump’s visit is to attend the NCAA wrestling championships at the Wells Fargo Center.

From their coverage:

It might seem like an odd event for the president to attend, but Trump also traveled to the NCAA wrestling finals in Tulsa, Okla., in 2023. He also welcomed Penn State’s wrestling team onto the stage during a rally at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College in October.

Trump has been a frequent visitor to sporting events. He’s a regular at UFC fights and attended both the Daytona 500 and the Super Bowl in New Orleans in February. He plans to welcome the Eagles to the White House on April 28 after having watched their blowout of the Kansas City Chiefs.
