What Went Down During The May 17 Primary Elections
We’re up to 26 percent of the expected vote reporting now in Pennsylvania’s Republican primary for governor, and Mastriano has taken the lead as more rural counties (and perhaps election day votes, though it’s hard to tell) have reported. Ironically, Mastriano railed against Biden’s come-from-behind win in Pennsylvania in 2020, yet Mastriano looks like he is charting the same path to victory tonight.

In my survey of Pennsylvanians conducted online, I am looking at the factors that distinguish Oz supporters from Barnette supporters. Oz supporters are more likely to watch Tucker Carlson, while Barnette supporters have higher incomes and are less likely to identify as Republicans.
It’s still early, but it looks like Cawthorn is slowly catching up to Edwards in North Carolina’s 11th District. Right now, the incumbent trails by roughly 4 percentage points.
