The former president will be in Wilkes-Barre to support GOP candidates Doug Mastriano for governor and Dr. Mehmet Oz for U.S. Senate.
warning that Trump and other “MAGA” Republicans posed a threat to U.S. democracy as he tries to frame the midterms — as he did the 2020 election — as a battle for the “soul of the nation.”
Mastriano, who wants to outlaw abortion even when pregnancies are the result of rape or incest or endanger the life of the mother, played a leading role in Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election andRepublicans are hoping Oz’s shortcomings as a candidate will be overshadowed by concerns about Fetterman, who suffered a stroke just days before the primary and has been sidelined for much of the summer.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee is helping finance a new round of Oz’s television ads, and the Senate Leadership Fund, a McConnell-aligned super PAC, says it added $9.5 million to its TV buy — boosting its overall commitment to $34.1 million by Election Day. A super PAC aligned with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, meanwhile, says it has made $32 million in television ad reservations in the state.
