Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro took his oath of office on Tuesday in front of the Harrisburg Capitol building to a crowd of hundreds of people. Prior to Shapiro’s inauguration, Lt. Gov. Austin Davis was sworn in before the state Senate. Davis is the first Black lieutenant governor in Pa. history and the highest-ranking Black elected official in the executive branch. Outgoing Gov. Tom Wolf completed his second term on Tuesday. Shapiro credited him for his historic investment in public education, his leadership during budget impasses and the COVID-19 pandemic. Shapiro, who is recognized as one of the country’s most influential Jewish politicians, was sworn in on three Bibles, including one from Philadelphia’s Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History and another from Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue, where 11 worshippers were killed in 2018.
