On his Truth Social platform, Trump accused these judges of being &#8220;radical,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >unlawfully gerrymandering congressional maps<\/a>, enabling strict COVID-19 restrictions, being lenient on violent offenders, and interfering with the 2020 presidential election. He encouraged Pennsylvanians to vote &#8220;NO, NO, NO&#8221; to prevent them from serving another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/soros-backed-candidate-flips-wisconsin-supreme-court\/\" title=\"Soros-Backed Candidate Flips Wisconsin ...\">ten-year term<\/a>. In response, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro criticized Trump&#8217;s call, asserting that Trump lacks credibility on the rule of law due to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his pardons related to January 6 events. Shapiro urged voters to support the retention of the justices, emphasizing the importance of an self-reliant judiciary in Pennsylvania. historically, retention elections in Pennsylvania rarely result in a judge&#8217;s removal, with only one justice not retained since 1968.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump urges PA to vote for &lsquo;rule of law&rsquo; and against &lsquo;radical&rsquo; Democrat judges on Nov. 4<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2389031\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> took to his Truth Social account on Sunday evening to encourage Pennsylvanians to vote against the retention of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pennsylvania\/\">Pennsylvania<\/a> Supreme Court justices, which are being held on November 4.<\/p>\n<p>    <iframe src=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/115482954448237364\/embed\" class=\"truthsocial-embed\" style=\"max-width: 100%; border: 0\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/embed.js\" async=\"async\"><\/script>    <\/p>\n<p>The elections determine if the three current state Supreme Court justices, Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty, and David Wecht, all Democrats, will serve another ten-year term.
