Former Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate and state Sen. Doug Mastriano is expected to announce his decision Thursday night whether he will be running for U.S. Senate and oppose incumbent Sen. Bob Casey in the 2024 election. He stated earlier this week that he would do a Facebook Live event on Thursday evening. But if Republicans want to have any chance at reclaiming a seat in the Senate, voters should move on from Mastriano.
Mastriano has shown he cannot win in a general election. He was trounced in the 2022 gubernatorial election by Josh Shapiro, obtaining less than 42% of all votes and losing by nearly 1 million. This was telling, given that Pennsylvania voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and in 2020 voted for Joe Biden but only by a narrow margin of 1.2%. Mastriano is an ardent supporter of strong conservative values, which is a positive.
Additionally, Mastriano ran a terrible campaign. It was disorganized, chaotic, and inefficient, and there has not been anything to suggest the 2024 version would be any different, even though, admittedly, it might be too early to make such a statement. His campaign was too reluctant to confront the legacy media, somewhat understandable given their lack of objectivity and strong left-wing positions, but also fumbled many opportunities with media representatives more aligned with his values.
