Pennsylvania primary

Ted Budd, a Republican, will face Cheri Beasley, a Democrat, in North Carolina's Senate race. In Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro clinched the Democratic ...

In their eagerness to win the support of Mr. Trump and his strongest devotees, Republican candidates across the country continue to actively advance the myth of a stolen election, or at least try to avoid stating that Mr. Biden won fair and square. On Jan. 6, 2021, he “passed through breached barricades” as rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to disrupt the final certification of the vote, according to a Senate Judiciary Committee report. Senate races in both states and a governor’s race in Pennsylvania were set to test Republican voters’ appetite for the lingering effort to re-litigate Mr. Trump’s loss. Mr. Fetterman spent Election Day in the hospital after suffering a stroke that forced him to cancel his final weekend of events. Mr. Budd will now face Cheri Beasley, a former State Supreme Court chief justice who won the Democratic nomination, in a state where Republicans have won the last four Senate races and the past three presidential contests. Progressives, he said, had “attacked masculinity” because “they knew a nation of strong men would never stand for what’s happening.” And “if we don’t win the culture war, we will never win anything else.” His hope is to reduce Republican margins of support there, while retaining Democratic inroads in the suburbs and galvanizing turnout in the major cities. He has declined to apologize or say he did anything wrong, and some party strategists worry that the episode could become a liability in the general election in November. They hope to tap into a national mood of urgent concern around inflation and the economy, in what has amounted to a challenging year for the president’s party. His campaign said that he would remain in the hospital “resting and recovering” instead of attending his election night rally on Tuesday. Mastriano is back on the stage, delivering a focused attack on the media for what he claims are unfair attacks on Christianity and his personal faith. Mr. Mastriano has already said he would seek to decertify the 2020 results in the state.

Pennsylvanians go to the ballot box to choose Republican and Democratic candidates for governor, U.S. Senate and Congress.

Attorney General Shapiro will be back on the campaign trail next week and will kick off the general election campaign in Johnstown.” “I am very frightened for the state of our democracy,” said Siroli. “Women’s rights are hanging by a thread. “Are we going to see them going after the LGBT community and minority groups.” "I think (McCormick) has a better chance with moderate Republican voters in the general election." “Mail in is a bunch of bull.” "It's been like this for the last couple of years," said Johnson, majority inspector at the precinct.

Rep. Ted Budd, R-N.C., won his state's Republican Senate primary on Tuesday, a resounding victory for former President Donald Trump in a night of elections ...

In the battle to succeed retiring Republican Sen. Pat Toomey, Trump-backed Mehmet Oz, a celebrity physician known from his nationally syndicated daytime talk show, is locked in a three-way fight for the GOP nomination. “He’s a hot mess,” Susan Newman, 53, a teacher from nearby Laurel Park who voted for Cawthorn two years ago, said in the parking lot of an Ingles grocery store. Wade decision, which has protected the constitutional right to abortion for nearly a half-century, debate over the future of abortion rights has permeated Pennsylvania’s elections ahead of Tuesday’s primaries while activists on both sides assess next moves. His campaign for the Senate said he voted by emergency absentee ballot. "We got the all-clear that it was successful, and that I’m on track for a full recovery," Fetterman wrote. Fetterman is the front-runner in Tuesday's Democratic Senate primary in Pennsylvania. Earlier Tuesday, he voted by emergency absentee ballot. Should Mastriano, who received former President Donald Trump’s last minute backing on Saturday, prevail in the general election, he would have the ability to appoint a secretary of state to oversee elections. One conservative Republican, Terry Henry, said he had been struggling over whether to back Cawthorn in the GOP primary. “They have fought a malicious, chaotic primary campaign to be the most extreme. In Pennsylvania, all eyes are on the Senate and governor's races. Another Trump pick in North Carolina, Rep. Madison Cawthorn, is at risk of losing his seat after a series of scandals. Budd was locked in a tight race but began to surge after Trump appeared at a rally with him.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Democrats and Republicans in Pennsylvania went to the polls on Tuesday to cast their ballots in the state's primary election.

For ballots that won't scan, county election workers will recreate voters' choices on blank ballots, and then scan those. The glitch will force election workers to redo ballots that can't be read by the machine, a laborious process expected to take several days. "But because of this, we're not going to have final election results from these mail ballots for probably several days, so that is very, very frustrating to us."

Allegheny County elections officials were responding to reports of late openings at some polling places on the morning of the Pennsylvania primary election.

John Fetterman is the winner of the Democratic nomination for an open U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania, NBC News projected Tuesday.

"They have fought a malicious, chaotic primary campaign to be the most extreme," Biden said. He’s a supporter of legalizing marijuana and raising the national minimum wage to $15 per hour. He is projected to defeat Rep. Conor Lamb, D-Pa., and state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta, according to NBC News. On Tuesday, shortly before polls closed, his campaign announced that he had "completed a successful procedure to implant a pacemaker with a defibrillator." "Too many people in this commonwealth and this country are hurting. The seat is being vacated by the retiring two-term GOP Sen. Pat Toomey.

Voters will weigh in on their party's nominees for governor and U.S. Senate, among other statewide and local races. Here's what you need to know.

“We continue to wish the lieutenant governor the very best as he continues to focus on his health and recovery. Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who’s vying for U.S. Senate, suffered a stroke on Friday and is currently recovering in the hospital. Republican lawmakers have objected to no-excuse mail ballot voting, and the state Supreme Court is currently weighing its constitutionality. “These types of errors are unacceptable and we hold the vendors responsible.” The county board said there was no way to know about the issue before scanning the ballots this morning. There’s been a steady stream of people filing into the Museum of the American Revolution in Old City, Philadelphia, where Davoren Chick was casting her vote. He has the backing of the city Democratic Committee, as well as building trades like International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers 98, and pro-charter school groups. We fought for that to be the norm, not the exception,” he said. There’s a perception among some Williams supporters — common in Philly politics — that Prescod’s progressive supporters are all people who don’t have history in the district. Mastriano supports banning the procedure after six weeks and introduced a bill to that effect in the state Senate. He will face the winner of a hotly contested Republican primary that includes Dr. Mehmet Oz, ex-hedge fund CEO David McCormick, and community activist Kathy Barnette. With nearly half of the votes counted, the 31-year-old Democrat sat in second to last place behind U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb and Lt. Governor John Fetterman, who bested the four-person field.

It's a chance for Democrats to find out whether they can arrest the building red wave and their declining White working-class support with a candidate who ...

“At the core of his argument is that he is one of those unique candidates that really forms a connection.” Every seat in the House and a third of the seats in the 100-member Senate are up for election. “It seemed like he would be there for anyone, in shorts and a hoodie.” I’m not sweating over it,” said J.B. Poersch, the president of the Senate Majority PAC, a group aligned with Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.). “Our challenge is the economy. “I just kind of like him,” said Ruth Barsotti, 68, who owns a wine-selling business with her husband. He has not made a public appearance since the stroke and planned to miss his election-night rally. He added that Republicans in the race were “too dangerous, too craven, and too extreme to represent Pennsylvania.” “I’m well on my way to a full recovery.” They point to his success in 2018 when he was on the statewide ballot and won in six counties that Trump had carried two years earlier. Fetterman rose to national prominence as the mayor of a faded manufacturing town, Braddock, where he starred in a 2010 Levi’s ad about America’s industrial rebirth. But he has also found ways to distinguish himself from the rest of his button-upped party. “I have seen people describe Fetterman as the left’s version of Donald Trump,” Brabender said.

Mastriano emerged from a crowded GOP field of nine candidates who have spent the last several months crisscrossing the state to rally support from party ...

He was elected attorney general in 2016 and again in 2020 for a second, four-year term. He has also suggested he would deploy the Pennsylvania National Guard to Philadelphia to fight crime “as a last recourse.” Democrats and Republicans also voted to pick their candidates for lieutenant governor. Pennsylvania’s share of the settlement stands at $1 billion, money that’s to be used for opioid remediation programs and initiatives. In since-deleted tweets, Mastriano used QAnon phrases, and was twice scheduled to appear at a conference with the podcasters. John Fetterman, the state’s current lieutenant governor, defeated three other Democrats for his party’s nod. Running unopposed gave him an instant advantage over the crowded, nine-way primary field of GOP contenders. At first, he appeared somewhat supportive of mitigation efforts — even proposing legislation that would let public health officials release the names of people who tested positive for the coronavirus. Since Jan. 6, Mastriano has continued to focus on unproven election fraud. At stake in November is the governor’s mansion, open because incumbent Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf is term-limited from running again. Mastriano has won his own legislative elections by similar margins. Other top contenders, such as former U.S. prosecutor Bill McSwain and Delaware County business owner Dave White, resisted calls to back down.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Democrats and Republicans in Pennsylvania went to the polls on Tuesday to cast their ballots in the state's primary election.

For ballots that won't scan, county election workers will recreate voters' choices on blank ballots, and then scan those.

In the end, John Fetterman's victory in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary for Senate wasn't that much of a surprise. Though a stroke and surgery grounded him ...

The next question is whether that affection for Trump will be an asset or a hindrance in a general election. Trump’s endorsement boosted one gubernatorial candidate (Mastriano, in Pennsylvania) but not another (McGeachin, in Idaho). Fetterman’s rise coincides with the fall of rival Rep. Conor Lamb, a shock to the Democratic establishment in Washington, which once viewed Lamb as the ideal kind of moderate candidate to compete in a Trump-leaning field. In the end, John Fetterman’s victory in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary for Senate wasn’t that much of a surprise. Even if he doesn’t, the close race saves face for Trump on one of his big gambles. Trump picks also won in a handful of competitive House primaries in both of those states, including former college football recruit Bo Hines in North Carolina’s 13th District. And it’s far from clear whether he did his party any favors with his picks as they gear up for contests this fall. But what worked in 2018, when Lamb squeaked out a win in Trump country, does not seem to be working in 2022. Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano, a fervent proponent of Trump’s stolen election lies who only recently picked up the former president’s endorsement, also won his primary. But he wound up reportedly conceding to state Sen. Chuck Edwards Tuesday night before most outlets had even called the race. He ran on standard progressive points — Medicare-for-all, abortion rights, voting rights, abolishing the filibuster — but wouldn’t call himself a progressive, and veered away from the left on environmental policy and manufacturing jobs. The reality matched that: He was on track Tuesday to win almost every county in the state.

She would become the first Black Republican woman elected to the Senate. Just as I expected, he presented himself in a very classy and humble way and offered his support to our campaign in absolutely anyway that we can use him." Heavy spending from the Club for Growth's political action committee ultimately boosted the conservative congressman, who backed voting to toss out It appeared to be a mixed night for the former President, who has been preoccupied with trying to pick winners in midterm contests ahead of a possible 2024 White House bid. He will face Democrat Josh Shapiro, the current state attorney general, in November. On day one, any jab for job requirements are gone," he said to cheers.

Five states hold primaries Tuesday, with Senate races in Pennsylvania and North Carolina getting top billing.

We need his voice in the Senate, and I’m going to do everything I can over the next six months to flip this seat blue and elect John in November.” “And while we await the results of the GOP primary, one thing is clear — these candidates are not your father’s GOP. They have fought a malicious, chaotic primary campaign to be the most extreme,” Biden added. No matter who wins the Republican primary, the Republicans in this race have shown Pennsylvanians that they’re more interested in genuflecting to the former President and his Big Lie than fighting to make the Commonwealth a better place to live and raise a family,” Casey said. “It’s time to deal them back in, and electing John to the United States Senate would be a big step forward for Pennsylvania’s working people. “As Pennsylvania’s Lieutenant Governor, John Fetterman understands that working class families in Pennsylvania and across the country have been dealt out for far too long,” Biden said. “He’s intriguing politically because he has mayoral roots in this state, a populist message but also a connection to the progressive wing in the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, he is linked to Sen. Bernie Sanders and his past presidential campaigns,” Costa added. Gisele Barreto Fetterman, the Second Spouse of Pennsylvania, said Tuesday night Fetterman is “already on his way to a full recovery,” and remains hospitalized in Lancaster.READ MORE: “He is someone who now stands to be the Democratic standard-bearer in Pennsylvania going into the November midterm elections.” It’s done with a small incision just under the clavicle,” Dr. William Gray, of Main Line Health who did not perform the procedure on Fetterman, said.

The Republican Senate cliff-hanger left us with lingering questions about Donald Trump's influence as the vote count rolled into Wednesday.

She gained national attention in the last few days. The leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn the landmark Roe v. But Mastriano demonstrated in the primary that he can beat better-funded candidates. She was about 80,000 votes behind the top two early Wednesday. Meanwhile, the GOP rival that Trump slammed as a candidate of the establishment and “globalists,” David McCormick, was running right alongside Oz, not certain to win, but certainly not vaporized either. But the results Tuesday fizzled. Dems cannot run the same playbook that has failed in years past,” he wrote, pledging to campaign in all 67 counties, including ones that have increasingly pumped up Republican margins. After Trump remade the GOP to champion the white, working class, Democrats are hoping Fetterman, with his own populist approach, can win back those same voters, while also appealing to core progressives. And while the Trump-endorsed gubernatorial candidate, State Sen. Doug Mastriano, won big, that result had little to do with the former president. If McCormick becomes the nominee, it’s worth watching to see how he pivots toward a general election audience. When Fetterman faces off against Oz or McCormick, it’ll offer Democrats a chance to upend recent narratives pitting elitist liberals against populist conservatives. McCormick, despite a background that looks like one of a classic Chamber of Commerce Republican, presented himself as an “America First” conservative, even after Trump personally slammed him.

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman has won the state's Democratic primary for U.S. Senate just days after suffering a stroke.

Fetterman suffered a stroke Friday, injecting uncertainty into the Democratic primary race that for weeks had been shaping up as a runaway. He said he is on his way to a “full recovery” but will remain in the hospital for a while. He will face the winner of a hotly contested Republican primary that includes Dr. Mehmet Oz, ex-hedge fund CEO David McCormick and community activist Kathy Barnette.

Celebrity surgeon Mehmet Oz's bid to become the next Republican senator from Pennsylvania is in jeopardy.

Tonight was a critical test of the former President Trump's ability to back winners… Dr Oz arrived at the venue and did a thumbs up to us and said he was feeling good. He said victory would be his in the end. He has been a vocal supporter of Mr Trump's baseless claim that he won the 2020 presidential election He will face Democrat Cheri Beasley, the first black woman to serve as chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. The race is expected to be competitive The midterms fall halfway through a president's term in office.

On Tuesday, Republican Senate hopeful Mehmet Oz said he is confident he will win not only the primary but also the general election.

It should be a short procedure that will help protect his heart and address the underlying cause of his stroke, atrial fibrillation (A-fib), by regulating his heart rate and rhythm," his campaign said Tuesday. He vowed to press forward despite the health setback, saying, "Our campaign isn't slowing down one bit, and we are still on track to win this primary on Tuesday." So, I would be surprised if Fetterman doesn't hang on in that race," he says. But on Sunday, the focus was on the Democrats as Fetterman announced he was recovering from a stroke.

Former president Donald Trump on Wednesday began sowing doubt about the results of the neck-and-neck Republican Senate primary in Pennsylvania, ...

Every seat in the House and a third of the seats in the 100-member Senate are up for election. Which primaries are the most competitive? As of April 25, 46 of the 50 states had settled on the boundaries for 395 of 435 U.S. House districts. The contentious race between Oz and McCormick left an opening for a third candidate, Kathy Barnette, to grain traction in the final weeks of the campaign among voters who were underwhelmed by their top-tier choices. … Whoever emerges will be too dangerous, too craven, and too extreme to represent Pennsylvania in the United States Senate.” Here are the results from Tuesday’s primaries: North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Idaho, Oregon and Kentucky. But in Pennsylvania, the turnout drop was only 17 percentage points, evidence of high enthusiasm among Democratic voters. He would garner nearly 60 percent of the vote. The Pennsylvania seat is held by a Republican, Sen. Patrick J. Toomey, who is retiring. Fetterman is recovering from a recent stroke that kept him off the campaign trail in the primary’s final days. In Pennsylvania they are unable to count the Mail-in Ballots. It is a BIG MESS. Our Country should go to paper ballots, with same day voting. As of Wednesday morning, Oz, who earned Trump’s endorsement in April, held a razor-thin lead over McCormick, who sought Trump’s support and was backed by many Trump allies.

Democrats and Republicans went to the polls Tuesday to cast their ballots, and a day later, there are still two races that haven't been called.

For ballots that won't scan, county election workers will recreate voters' choices on blank ballots, and then scan those. The glitch will force election workers to redo ballots that can't be read by the machine, a laborious process expected to take several days. "But because of this, we're not going to have final election results from these mail ballots for probably several days, so that is very, very frustrating to us."

The GOP Senate contest is a tight three-way race, despite Donald Trump trying to boost TV doctor Mehmet Oz. There's also a high-stakes race for governor.

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday said Mehmet Oz should declare victory over opponent Dave McCormick in the too-close-to-call Pennsylvania GOP ...

But Trump has never conceded that defeat, instead promulgating baseless theories that the election was stolen from him in Pennsylvania and a handful of other key swing states. The then-president went on to lose Pennsylvania, and the election, as more votes were counted over the subsequent days. Thousands of votes and mail-in ballots have yet to be counted — and the closeness of the race signals a potential recount — making Trump’s Wednesday morning declaration premature.

He held the office until he became lieutenant governor in 2019 after running on a ticket with Gov. Tom Wolf. “He didn’t even want to go to the hospital, he didn’t want to miss the events we had planned. He voted by emergency absentee ballot and his wife, Gisele, delivered a victory speech on his behalf. But I insisted and as usual, I was right, and I’m so glad I made him go.” Shapiro has made protecting the right to vote and making it easier to vote major planks in his platform, while Mastriano denies that Biden won the 2020 election and has made false claims about the 2020 results. Oz, who’s hosted “The Dr. Oz Show” since 2009, was endorsed by former President Donald Trump. Trump held a rally for Oz in Greensburg, Pa., and recorded robocalls for his campaign.
