Doug Mastriano rules out 2024 Senate run in Pennsylvania

Doug Mastriano, a far-right state senator who lost in Pennsylvania's gubernatorial contest last fall, announced that he will not run for Senate in 2024. Republicans are trying to knock off Sen. Bob Casey, whose re-election bid in the battleground state will play a key role in Democrats' effort to keep their slim majority in the Senate next year. Many Republicans are looking to Dave McCormick, a businessman who narrowly lost a GOP Senate primary last year to celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz.

Doug Mastriano Rules Out Senate Run in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano, a fervent election denier who lost last year’s gubernatorial race, said he’s not running for US Senate on Thursday night, a relief for some Republicans who had feared the controversial conservative would complicate their hopes of flipping a Democratic-held seat. Mastriano had come under pressure to stay out of the race from some Pennsylvania and national Republicans, who were concerned he’d be too extreme to win a general election against Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, who’s running for a fourth term.

Doug Mastriano Withdraws from Pennsylvania Senate Race

Doug Mastriano, a far-right state lawmaker, announced that he will not run for Senate in Pennsylvania in 2024, but will continue to serve in Harrisburg. Mastriano promised to support whoever emerges as the Republican nominee in the Senate contest. His decision could clear the path for David McCormick, a former hedge fund CEO and combat veteran who is being recruited by national and state Republicans to run for the Senate. Mastriano lost the gubernatorial election last year by 15 percentage points and his support for an abortion ban with no exceptions, his attempts to overturn the 2020 election in the state, and his appearance at the capitol on the day of the Jan. 6 attack turned off independents, swing voters, and even some Republicans.

Doug Mastriano opts out of Senate race.

Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano has announced that he will not run for the US Senate, opening the way for David McCormick to take on incumbent Senator Bob Casey. Mastriano's decision not to run is expected to be a relief for many Republicans who believe that his loss in the state's gubernatorial contest hurt the party in congressional and state legislature races. McCormick, who narrowly lost the state's GOP Senate primary last year, is expected to launch a second bid later this year, with establishment GOP forces lining up behind him. The Pennsylvania Senate contest is expected to be one of the most expensive on the 2024 map, with the nominee expected to need at least $100 million for the potential brawl.

Pennsylvania Senate Race: Casey Seeks Fourth Term Amid GOP Primary Brawl

Sen. Bob Casey's (D-Pa.) reelection announcement has set the stage for a closely watched Senate race in 2024. Republicans view Casey as vulnerable and are hoping to improve on candidate quality this time around with former Senate candidate Dave McCormick. However, former failed conservative gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano is eyeing another potential run, raising alarm for the GOP. Mastriano's potential entrance has also heightened the push for McCormick allies to push him into the race. Democrats are salivating at the thought of a Mastriano-versus-McCormick primary match-up.
