Govs. Spencer Cox and Josh Shapiro to discuss political violence in a bipartisan conversation

Governors Shapiro and Cox address recent political violence incidents and emphasize leadership and cross-party dialogue to restore civic safety and dignity, part of NBC's series.

  • On December 9, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Utah Governor Spencer Cox spoke at Washington National Cathedral, with Savannah Guthrie moderating a 7 p.m. NBC interview streamed live at 8 p.m.
  • Both governors have direct experience with political violence, as investigators say Cody Balmer set Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's Harrisburg residence on fire earlier this year.
  • The event was hosted within the Cathedral's series 'A Better Way: Sacred Values for Civic Life' and opened with an expert panel moderated by Cathedral Dean Randy Hollerith.
  • They focused on leadership during moments of crisis and rising extremism, reflecting on rebuilding civic life rooted in dignity, safety and hope, while Shapiro criticized what he called 'selective condemnation' of attacks.
  • The two governors have developed a bipartisan rapport, with Josh Shapiro reaching out to Spencer Cox in September to offer assistance and both receiving bipartisan plaudits for their crisis responses.
