PHILADELPHIA — Tuesday’s primary election — one of Pennsylvania’s most consequential in recent years — brought thousands of voters to the region’s polls in an understated election day showing.
Lt. Gov. John Fetterman won the Democratic Senate primary, and Josh Shapiro, the state attorney general, became the Democratic nominee for governor after running unopposed. State Sen. Doug Mastriano won the Republican nomination for governor.
By 10 p.m. Eastern time, that left the Republican race for U.S. Senate to be called, but a majority of votes were expected to be counted by the end of the night. There was a strong likelihood the biggest races could be called within hours — not days, like in November 2020 — of polls closing.
