Pennsylvania primaries test future direction of the Republican Party
CNN
Voters in five states cast their ballots in Tuesday's primaries, but two GOP contests in Pennsylvania will offer the greatest insight into the future of the Republican Party with candidates who have denied the results of the 2020 election running for both the Senate and gubernatorial nod in the state.
And there is perhaps no primary state that has traversed a more unpredictable series of twists and turns in recent weeks -- including a medical setback that has kept the Democratic front-runner in the Senate race, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, in the hospital since last week and a late-breaking Covid-19 diagnosis that will keep state Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who's running unopposed for the Democratic gubernatorial nod, off the trail on election night.
The night's most closely watched race is Pennsylvania's GOP Senate contest, which encapsulates the complex crosswinds facing the Republican Party as former President Donald Trump looks for a victory from his chosen candidate, celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz, to cement his influence over the party in preparation for a possible 2024 White House bid.
