PHILADELPHIA — Jake Corman, the leader of the Pennsylvania Senate, is expected to end his Republican campaign for governor, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Corman was expected to file a petition in state court as early as Tuesday to remove his name from the ballot for the May 17 primary election, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said.
That would leave eight Republican candidates vying for the party’s nomination, including former U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, state Sen. Doug Mastriano, former U.S. attorney Bill McSwain and former Delaware County Councilman Dave White.
