Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro beat Republican Doug Mastriano to become Pennsylvania’s next governor, succeeding term-limited Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf.
Shapiro has been a successful fundraiser and has a record of winning statewide races. Alternatively, Mastriano, a far-right election denier, is known for his views on controversial issues and regularly attacks members of his own party. Days ahead of the election, President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama hit the campaign trail with Shapiro and Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman in North Philadelphia.
The race between Shapiro and Mastriano was one of the biggest tests of Trump’s election denialism on the ballot this cycle. The state senator introduced a failed resolution after the former president lost Pennsylvania in 2020, falsely claiming that it was the Republican-controlled legislature that gets to determine which candidate won the state’s electoral votes. He also chartered buses to the Jan. 6, 2021, rally that eventually led to the attack on the Capitol.
Democrats have controlled the governor's office for the past eight years. Pennsylvania has not had consecutive Democratic governors since 1955.
