Shapiro: ‘Dangerous’ Republican rival Mastriano could override will of voters

Democratic nominee for Pennsylvania governor says if Mastriano wins he could wield power to choose his own slate of electors and overturn presidential election results

Josh Shapiro, who was nominated this week as the Democrats' candidate for governor in the electorally critical state of Pennsylvania, has accused his Republican rival of intending to override the democratic will of voters and pick his own winners in future elections.

Shapiro launched his attack on Doug Mastriano in an interview on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday. He called Mastriano, a far-right state senator, dangerous and divisive" and warned that were he to become Pennsylvania's governor he could wield power to choose his own slate of presidential electors as a means of overturning the results of the 2024 presidential election.
