Governor Josh Shapiro was nearly struck by a large “America250PA” backdrop sign during his unveiling of the “Commonwealth Concert Series” in Hershey on Thursday, FOX News reported.

Shapiro was on stage with a Benjamin Franklin reenactor and a woman portraying Betsy Ross when the backdrop fell.

“Everyone okay?” Shapiro asked before finishing his announcement.

2028 Presidential Run

Shapiro hinted at a 2028 presidential run during a fireside chat with the Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network’s (NAN) annual convention in New York City, according to The Hill.

“We have an opportunity to have a real debate within our party about what we stand for, about what our affirmative vision is,” Shapiro said. “That is a debate that our party hasn’t had for a good long while and that debate is not only going to help the Democratic Party, I think it’s going to be healthy for this country. And what I can tell you for sure is that I want to be a part of that debate.”
