PHILADELPHIA — State Sen. Doug Mastriano plans to make an announcement next week about the decision he has made on whether he will run for U.S. Senate, in what he teased as “crazy good news.”
Mastriano, an uber-conservative who lost his 2022 gubernatorial bid to Democrat Josh Shapiro by 15 percentage points and 800,000 votes, said Saturday at a Lebanon County event that he will disclose his decision about entering the 2024 primary on Facebook Live.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., is up for reelection next year, and at least one other Republican, former U.S. Senate candidate and financier Dave McCormick, are angling to challenge Casey. Mastriano has been considering a run in recent months.
