US EditionFinding a Strong Candidate for Pennsylvania Governor May Help GOP Protect US House Majority
- Republicans in Pennsylvania have not yet named a candidate to challenge Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro in next year’s gubernatorial election.
- This delay follows Shapiro's strong standing as a well-funded incumbent with robust approval ratings, making the race a difficult prospect for Republicans.
- Shapiro has secured victory in multiple statewide elections, set a new record for campaign expenditures in 2022, and is recognized as a disciplined communicator and influential fundraiser gaining national prominence.
- Pollster Berwood Yost noted that Shapiro’s approval suggests he will likely cruise to reelection and warned that running against him will be incredibly challenging with few incentives.
- Republicans need a strong gubernatorial candidate to support down-ballot races and help defend the narrow GOP majority in the U.S. House amid targeted Democratic efforts in Pennsylvania.
