A far-right election denier wins GOP governor primary in swing state of Pennsylvania Enlarge this image toggle caption Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano has emerged as the winner from a crowded Republican primary for governor, according to a race call from The Associated Press. Sponsor Message Republican establishment panic The lead that Mastriano commanded late in the race panicked Pennsylvania's Republican party establishment, some of whom threw their support behind his nearest opponent: former U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta. Some, like state Republican party member Jezree Friend, point to President Trump's narrow statewide win in 2016 – and slightly larger loss in 2020 – as proof. Mastriano has so far dismissed any threat Shapiro might pose to his bid, and political observers like Friend say the Republican lawmaker may use Shapiro's record in Gov.
