Harrisburg’s ABC News affiliate reports:
State Senator Doug Mastriano, coming off his long-coveted endorsement from former President Donald Trump, increased his lead in the last Pennsylvania Governor’s race poll.
Mastriano, who has reported ties to the conspiracy group QAnon and is a vocal supporter of former President Trump’s false election fraud claims, finished atop the poll with 34% support.
Mastriano is up from the 19.4% he received in a Nexstar/Emerson College poll conducted in early April where he was behind former congressman Lou Barletta by 0.4%. Former U.S. Attorney Bill McSwain, who was infamously un-endorsed by Trump, finished third with nearly 12%.
