Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, interviewed on Face the Nation, says that as attorney general in 2020 he won every one of the 43 suits Trump and his "enablers" filed. He says his office set up a task force more than a year ago for new legal challenges, and that he sued over Trump's executive order on voting by mail and won.

Back in 2020, I was the attorney general, and Trump lost the election here in Pennsylvania and tried to undermine the counting of the vote. In fact, he and his enablers sued me 43 different times to try and throw out the votes of certain Pennsylvanians. Heck, even my opponent went to court to throw out the votes of people in Bucks County. I won every single one of those cases. When 43 and 0, Trump went 0 and 43. And so we are prepared, should they try to do that again this time? In fact, we put together a task force more than a year ago when Trump began to hint at the idea that he would once again take that tack. So we are prepared in the courtroom, should they go forward in trying to undermine the right to vote? Now, more recently, we've seen further evidence of this president trying to undermine the right to vote in signing that bogus executive order, trying to make it so people here in Pennsylvania and across America couldn't vote by mail. I sued them, I wanted, we protected the right to vote.
