But now that he\u2019s won the Republican nomination, there\u2019s growing worry by Democrats that he could actually win.<\/p>\n<p>Doug Mastriano, a strong Trump supporter as a state senator who worked to overturn the 2020 presidential election, had also drawn doubts from fellow Republicans that he could win.<\/p>\n<p>Jackie Kulback, chairman of the Cambria County Republican Party, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/07\/19\/mastriano-pennsylvania-governor-race-00046423\">Politico<\/a> she wasn\u2019t sure he could win in November, but much has changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe higher the gas prices go, the more electable Mastriano is,\u201d Kulback told the political website. \u201cHonestly, I feel this is Mastriano\u2019s campaign to lose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mastriano will face Democrat Josh Shapiro, a veteran candidate with a lot of money. But the polls show a tight race, with two in June showing Shapiro leading by about four percentage points.<\/p>\n<p>Larry Ceisler, a Pennsylvania-based public affairs consultant backing Shapiro, told Politico that Democrats are beginning to realize Mastriano could win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost people are in a little bubble, where they talk to one other and say, \u2018Boy, there\u2019s no way Doug Mastriano can beat Josh Shapiro.\u2019 Well, you know what? Those people don\u2019t get off the turnpike,\u201d he said. \u201cIt wakes some people as to: It\u2019s a real campaign, and yes, there really are people who are for Doug Mastriano, and this is not going to be a walk in the park.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Dem In GOP Clothing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With President Joe Biden\u2019s approval rating in the dumpster amid soaring inflation and gas prices, it\u2019s not a great time to be a Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>So one Democratic candidate in Ohio is trying to sound more like a Republican,<\/p>\n<p>Tim Ryan, a candidate for U.S. Senate, is running ads on Fox News featuring conservative-sounding language \u2014 including compliments from Fox News\u2019 opinion hosts. His latest ad, airing only on Fox last week, shows him winning kudos from none other than Tucker Carlson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are on the stump and you talk bread and butter issues, economy, kitchen table issues,\u201d Bret Baier says in the ad. Other hosts use the word \u201cmoderate\u201d to describe Ryan, with one saying he is \u201changing out in the middle like most of us are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryan has also avoided appearing with Biden, as many other Democrats have. When Biden popped into the state earlier, Ryan was nowhere to be seen. \u201cTim has a full day of previously-scheduled campaign events along the Ohio River,\u201d a Ryan spokesman told The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2022\/jul\/6\/top-ohio-dem-candidates-will-skip-biden-event\/\">Washington Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s worth remembering that former President Donald Trump won Ohio, long a swing state, by eight points in both 2016 and 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Poof, He\u2019s Gone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) dropped his bid to represent the left-leaning 10th Congressional District, admitting that \u201cit\u2019s not going work out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve really listened carefully to people and it\u2019s clear to me that when it comes to this congressional district, people are looking for another option. And I respect that,\u201d the former mayor said.<\/p>\n<p>De Blasio, who served as mayor of New York City from 2014 to 2021 and made a brief run for president in 2020, announced his bid for Congress in May. But he never caught on.<\/p>\n<p>De Blasio had been trailing most of the Democratic field in the district, which includes parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn, in recent polls, with one showing he had just 3% of the vote.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Much To Do In Michigan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Political soothsayers are predicting a red wave in the mid-term elections, and Republicans in Michigan are hoping that can push them to a win against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.<\/p>\n<p>Five GOP candidates will be on the ballot for the nomination on August 2 after the early favorite, former Detroit Police Chief James Craig, was disqualified for forged signatures on his qualifying petition.<\/p>\n<p>The disqualification of Craig, who vows to run a write-in campaign, threw the race into chaos and opened up the nomination to some lesser-known pols.<\/p>\n<p>In recent polling, former businesswoman and political commentator Tudor Dixon appears to be the favorite. Dixon has recently been labeled the \u201cestablishment candidate\u201d by at least two of her opponents, Garrett Soldano and Kevin Rinke, after she received an endorsement from the powerful DeVos family. Richard DeVos Jr. is a multi-billionaire, and his wife, Betsy, is the former Secretary of Education in the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>The race has not been short of drama. Candidate Ryan Kelley was arrested by the FBI and charged with misdemeanors related to his presence at the January 6 Capitol riot. Yet Kelley has done well in the polls following his arrest and has vowed to stay in the race despite his upcoming trial.<\/p>\n<p>So far, no one has won the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Incumbents Rule In GA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Incumbents won more than 90% of the congressional races in 2020, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Election_results,_2020:_Incumbent_win_rates_by_state\">Ballotpedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s no surprise that both incumbent Democrats and Republicans are leading their gubernatorial and Senate races in Georgia, according<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, That Didn\u2019t Work Democrats in Pennsylvania decided to boost a MAGA longshot in the gubernatorial race.
