Daily News | A last-ditch GOP effort to stop Doug Mastriano in the Pa. governor’s race appears to be too little, too late
that featured a video promoting QAnon and conspiracy theories about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Mastriano lashed out before abruptly hanging up the phone. “You’re talking like an East German there,” he told the host., but his status as the undisputed front-runner wasn’t entirely clear until recent weeks. Some party insiders held out hope that former President Donald Trump would help clear the field by endorsing one of Mastriano’s rivals.
But Trump made no such announcement during his rally last Friday in Western Pennsylvania. That — combined with Shapiro’s airing of TV ads aimed at boosting Mastriano in the primary — sent some establishment Republicans into panic mode.Some of those establishment figures commissioned a poll with the hope that the survey — independent from the campaigns — would show which candidate had the best chance to beat Mastriano.
In an email to GOP insiders Monday, Tabas said: “With more on the line than any time I can remember, I urge you to remember that Democrat leaders’ strategy is to turn us on ourselves.” “There is nothing more true and sincere that I can convey to you than this: Democrats know they can beat us if we are divided,” Tabas said in the email, which was obtained by The Inquirer. “The[y] know they have no shot if we are united. I urge you to vote on May 17 for the candidate you believe will best unite us and push us to victory in November.”
