Republican Doug Mastriano, the far-right-wing Adams County state senator who lost the Pennsylvania gubernatorial race by a whopping 15 percentage points to Democrat Josh Shapiro last year, taking down-ballot competitive seats for the GOP with him, told 20 attendees at a Lebanon County event he will make a big announcement next week about his political future.
Mastriano called himself at the"Free the People" event a"once in a lifetime" candidate for the U.S. Senate seat. But one former Republican supporter, who soured on him last cycle after he spent the entire campaign pushing a strident culture war stance, quipped, “No. He is a twice-in-[a]-lifetime candidate to lose statewide in Pennsylvania again.”
West Point graduate and Republican businessman David McCormick is widely seen as a potent challenger to Casey if he decides to jump in. Since narrowly losing the GOP primary race last year to Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Washington County native has spent the past few months traveling the 67 counties of the state and engaging with the grassroots.
In April, Franklin and Marshall College released a poll showing McCormick a much more formidable candidate than Mastriano in a general election against Casey. The poll also showed Casey’s approval rating at a weak 29%, down from the 43% he had just before his reelection in 2018.
