Days before the May 17 primary in the Pennsylvania GOP governor race, Donald Trump announced his endorsement of MAGA-loving frontrunner Doug Mastriano
As a state senator, Mastriano was at the forefront of the futile attempt to overturn the election results in the state of Pennsylvania, where President Joe Biden won by more than 80,000 votes. Mastriano also tried to launch a statewide audit of the results, but failed.
Mastriano also previously supported far-right Republican candidate Teddy Daniels to serve as his lieutenant governor, even though Daniels’ wife hasTrump isn’t the only politician to throw their support behind Mastriano:, presumptive Democratic gubernatorial nominee Josh Shapiro and the state’s Democratic Party funded television ads that backed Mastriano to GOP voters, as they viewed him as the weakest of the Republican candidates that Shapiro could face in the actual governors race later this...
The ad touted that Mastriano would outlaw abortion and vote-by-mail in Pennsylvania — which Mastriano himself has promised — as well as trumpeted the candidate’s support of Trump’s 2020 election claims. While appealing to the MAGA base, the ad also aimed to turn off more centric Republican voters in the purple swing state.
“Senator Mastriano has appeal to base Republicans, but I fear the Democrats will destroy him with swing voters,” state Senate GOP floor leader Kim Ward wrote on Facebook earlier this week while announcing her support for Dan White, another PA GOP candidate . “The goal isn’t to win the primary. Winning the primary and losing the general because the candidate is unable to get the votes in the middle isn’t a win. We need a candidate who can win in November.
In recent weeks, the Pennsylvania GOP attempted to coalesce under an alternative, less extreme candidate to at least challenge the frontrunner Mastriano, but Trump’s endorsement will likely end that bid.
