Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro says it could be "months" before this elevated section of Interstate 95 is fully restored, writes Isaac Avilucea of Axios Philadelphia.

  • The lanes collapsed early yesterday after a tanker truck carrying 8,500 gallons of fuel caught fire.

By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

Officials say driver lost control of gas-filled tanker before fire collapsed main East Coast highway

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The driver of a tractor-trailer hauling gasoline lost control on an off-ramp and flipped the tanker truck on its side in a wreck that set it afire and destroyed a section of the East Coast’s main north-south highway, Pennsylvania’s top transportation official said Monday.

Interstate 95 reopens less than two weeks after deadly collapse in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Interstate 95 reopened Friday less than two weeks after a deadly collapse in Philadelphia, a quicker-than-expected rebuild to get traffic flowing again on a heavily traveled stretch of the East Coast’s main north-south highway.

🚧 Traffic is flowing in both directions of Philadelphia's I-95, 12 days after a deadly tanker fire and collapse forced the closure of one of the East Coast's most well-traveled highways. Go deeper.

Pennsylvania's playbook for Dems

The pivotal political battleground of Pennsylvania is demonstrating that there's still a critical mass of Trump-supporting swing voters who will back the right type of Democrat, under certain circumstances.

Why it matters: The party that wins over the Pennsylvania voter that backed President Obama in 2012, President Trump in 2016 and Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) in 2022 will have the inside track toward winning the presidency in 2024.

  • It's a larger persuadable voting bloc than you'd expect, given the intense partisanship and polarization across the country. Fetterman, in particular, exceeded expectations in rural Trump-friendly counties with large recent increases in GOP registration.
  • Gov. Josh Shapiro, a moderate Democrat elected by 16 points in 2022, is showcasing a pragmatic playbook designed to win over these swing voters in his first months in office.

Zoom in: New polling and conversations with top Pennsylvania political operatives underscore the emergence of this critical voting bloc.

  • Shapiro's approval rating is an enviable 57%, according to a new Quinnipiac poll, with his political standing boosted by the speedy rebuilding of the I-95 corridor badly damaged by a June trucking accident.
  • Shapiro is winning the approval of about one-third of Trump voters, even as the poll finds Trump is statistically tied with President Biden in a 2024 matchup. Biden's approval rating in the statewide survey is a lowly 39%.

The big picture: Shapiro, whose name increasingly comes up as a future presidential prospect, is emerging as a case study on how Democrats can win over deep-seated skeptics of his party.

His governorship has been defined by three key attributes:

  1. Competence: After early projections hinted that rebuilding the broken highway would take months, Shapiro bragged that the highway was rebuilt in just two weeks. "Let this serve as an example of how Pennsylvania can do big things,” Shapiro said at the I-95 reopening.
  2. Working-class empathy: Shapiro's first executive order as governor was ending the requirement that workers needed college degrees to serve in most state government jobs. The move earned him the praise of both traditional Democratic allies and the Wall Street Journal editorial board. (His popularity with white working-class voters in the Quinnipiac poll: a robust 52%/29% rating.)
  3. Bipartisanship: Dealing with a divided legislature, Shapiro has been a rare Democrat supportive of private school vouchers for students in poorly performing public schools — a top GOP priority.

Reality check: One of the only red flags from recent Pennsylvania results is declining non-white support and turnout for Democratic candidates.

  • The party's effective playbook has been centered on maximizing their advantage in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh suburbs, while peeling off a slice of rural working-class whites.
  • But in doing so, the party has lost some momentum among Black and Hispanic voters.

The bottom line: If Democrats can hold even a fraction of their blue-collar Trump-Fetterman-Shapiro voters into 2024, it would bode well for Biden's chances of winning a second term.

  • And if Democrats can re-create that coalition in Pennsylvania, it would also bode well for winning Wisconsin and Michigan — the blue wall of states where a sweep would all but guarantee a presidential victory.

Fire-damaged Los Angeles freeway repairs will take three to five weeks, California governor says

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It will take at least three weeks to repair a Los Angeles freeway damaged in an arson fire, the California governor said Tuesday, leaving the city already accustomed to soul-crushing traffic without part of a vital artery that serves hundreds of thousands of people daily.

A California program to lease land under freeways faces scrutiny after a major Los Angeles fire

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The area under an elevated Los Angeles freeway that burned last weekend, damaging a section of a key thoroughfare in the car-dependent city, was stacked with flammable materials on lots leased by the state through a little-known program that now is under scrutiny.

Interstate 10 in L.A. fully reopened last night after a freeway fire last Sunday caused severe damage.

  • "The 10 is going to be safe to drive on ... WEEKS ahead of schedule — because of urgent action and collaboration at all levels of government," L.A. Mayor Karen Bass posted on X.
  • Crews "worked 24 hours a day, seven days a week" to get the major roadway running, Bass said at an announcement event.

Flashback: Crews worked to get an interim six-lane roadway up in Philadelphia less than two weeks after a section of I-95 collapsed in June. That also opened weeks ahead of schedule.
