Josh Shapiro is about to inherit a state government so divided that the parties can't even agree who controls the Pennsylvania House.
So as Shapiro, a Democrat, prepares to be sworn in next month as the state's 48th governor, he's seeking to mend relations with Republican legislative leaders who were often at odds with outgoing Gov. Tom Wolf.
That's partly out of realpolitik: Republicans will control at least the Senate. But Shapiro has built his career as a consensus builder and pragmatist, sometimes clashing with his party's activist left. And his campaign and postelection pronouncements suggest he's continuing that strategy.
