Josh Shapiro disagrees with the perception of Democrats' problem with DNC messaging.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on Wednesday defended the Democratic Party's message of "hope and change," arguing that critics have been dismissive of the party's message despite President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris having been in office for over three-and-a-half years.

"Special Report" featured Shapiro live from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago prior to his evening address.

On Tuesday, Barack and Michelle Obama, who were the main speakers, conveyed a message of "hope" and urged voters to alter the country's political direction through their voting choices in November, as reported by Planet Chronicle chief political anchor Bret Baier.

"Baier questioned whether the message of change being conveyed by the Biden-Harris administration is being overlooked because they have been in power for three-and-a-half years."

Despite being a top contender for Harris' running mate, Shapiro dismissed the alleged inconsistency and emphasized the administration's efforts on energy independence and job growth. However, he acknowledged that more needs to be done.

"We've made progress," he said. "We've got a ways to go, we've got more work to do, and as Kamala Harris continues her campaign, she will continue to lay out that vision for not just hope, but meaningful change for people."

Baier questioned: "Is it a delicate dance to claim this is hope and change, even with a Democratic president who was pushed out over the past weeks?"

Some Democrats have expressed reservations about using that line of messaging, as noted by him.

"I respectfully disagree with you, but I mean this respectfully, of course. I believe what Joe Biden did was truly patriotic. He understood that in every chapter of our American story, Americans have written those chapters, then passed the marker to the next generation to continue that work. He did that work here in passing the torch to Kamala Harris - passing the marker, if you will, to Kamala Harris to write that next chapter. So I respectfully disagree. I think what he did was really patriotic."

On Tuesday, conservative commentator Scott Jennings gained popularity after challenging Democrats with the same question as liberal pundits praised the Obamas for their comments.

Despite the excellent speeches given, there is still a noticeable gap, as she is currently in the White House. Democrats have held the presidency for 12 out of the past 16 years, according to Jennings' statement on CNN.

Despite the ongoing division and struggles in the country, Democrats have been in control for the majority of the time. Yet, it is still being blamed on former President Trump, and she is not being held accountable for her role in it.

"The campaign still lacks a solution for the glaring hole, which has not been addressed at the convention."

After President Biden withdrew from the 2024 race, Vice President Harris received a surge in positive media coverage and her approval ratings increased.

An Associated Press-NORC poll revealed that 48% of Americans now have a very or somewhat positive opinion of Harris, which is an increase from the 39% reported earlier in the summer.
