For the first time in their primary race for Pennsylvania governor, the four Republican front-runners — at least according to recent polling — went toe-to-toe on a debate stage.
In a televised hourlong debate Wednesday night that reached every market in Pennsylvania, state Sen. Doug Mastriano, former U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, businessman Dave White and former U.S. Attorney Bill McSwain outlined to voters why they should be the GOP nominee to face Democrat Josh Shapiro in the fall.
They sparred on the issue of electability, how far they’d go on election reform and who has the right agenda to win former President Donald Trump’s endorsement.
