Canadian PM Mark Carney meets three potential 2028 Democratic contenders, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is actively engaging with U.S. political figures. In recent weeks he has met with three individuals who could run as Democrats in 2028. The meetings were held privately and have not been widely reported. One of the candidates was Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. Carney’s sit-down with Shapiro was previously unreported. The series of meetings indicates Carney’s interest in the upcoming U.S. election. Analysts see the outreach as a sign of cross-border political dialogue. Further contacts with potential candidates are expected to be monitored.
