Shah counters by comparing public health response to firefighting, insists he acted swiftly and was later trusted by both Democratic and Biden administrations, and defends his record — especially during the pandemic — arguing that real leadership is forged in crises. CNN’s Brianna Keilar pushes back, citing an Illinois audit that contradicts his claims of quick coordination, but Shah stands firm, calling for better intergovernmental teamwork while framing his past as proof of resilience and strength.
