In the governor’s race, Attorney General Josh Shapiro won the uncontested Democratic primary, while state Senator Doug Mastriano clinched the Republican nomination, winning 44% of the vote.

Current Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, garnering 59% of the vote, while the race on the Republican side remains too close to call with Mehmet Oz and David McCormick deadlocked at 31%.
