Daily News | The Trump show crashes into Pennsylvania | Election Newsletter
Around the same time, State Senate leader Jake Corman was filing paperwork to drop out of the governor’s race. It all looked like a victory for Trump-aligned candidates like State Sen. Doug Mastriano and former Congressman Lou Barletta, and Ls for the traditional Republicans — McSwain, Corman, McCormick — who had tried to shape themselves to fit the new, Trumpier GOP.McSwain said he wouldn’t quit and he’s still got plenty of money behind him.
The governor’s race is different: Trump hasn’t said who he’s for, but made it very clear who he’s against. That could be even more powerful: He has always been a better political destroyer than builder. Should McSwain defy him, though, and beat two rivals who have wrapped themselves in the MAGA flag, it would expose new weakness for Trump, and a loosening grip on the GOP.
As for Corman, it’s not clear how his campaign today is any stronger than when he woke up yesterday planning to quit. But apparently Trump talked him into staying in the race — and we’ll see if there’s more active support from the ex-president ahead. I checked in with a longtime Pennsylvania operative late yesterday, and he threw up his hands and said no one knows what comes next. This guy has seen some stuff. But he texted me: “Today was the craziest day of my career.”“When you’re in television for 18 years, that’s like a poll. That means people like you.”
