A last-ditch effort by some Pennsylvania Republicans to consolidate a crowded Republican gubernatorial field around an alternative to an election skeptic may be too little, too late, according to recent polls.
State Sen. Doug Mastriano is the front-runner in the field just days before Tuesday’s primary, but some in the state worry that he could win the Republican primary by a plurality but go on to lose the general election in the fall.Mastriano is running as a hard-right candidate, and he recently told NBC News he would make Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis look like an “amateur.”
But Pennsylvania is a key battleground state, and some Republicans worry about his electability in a statewide race. Mastriano is a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump and backed his claims that the 2020 election was stolen. Mastriano also faces questions about his attendance at a QAnon-linked event in Gettysburg and at the Washington, D.C., rally that took place before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Another recent poll by Fox News had similar results, finding Mastriano in the lead with 29%, followed by Barletta at 17%.
