doug mastriano is running against lou barletta, bill

before lou barletta, look down here. a republican candidate does not have to win the philadelphia suburbs to win statewide in pennsylvania but the republican candidate has to be competitive in the philadelphia suburbs. he cannot get blown out like donald trump with joe biden. this is mcswain running first and mastriano running third. go to bucks county, mastriano winning but narrowly. in these other suburban counties, he's third here, second here in chester county and you move here to delaware county, he is third again. if you look at it there, if you're the republican candidate in november, you have to be more competitive in the philadelphia suburbs. if you're a reb looking at this map tonight or if you're the shapiro campaign looking at this map tonight, 30% of the state's population lives right here in this southeastern corner of the state. doug mastriano as of tonight is very weak in that part of the state. a lot think in terms of the governor's race here, leaning d. we go on from here. >> trump's endorsement was mas

he is trailed by lou barletta of pennsylvania and in these final weeks, as other republicans -- more mainstream republicans have started to see that his lead is not going away, they tried to consolidate report around barletta, though he is very aligned with donald trump, has said their questions about the 2020 and things like that and it remains to be seen if that is going to work. it's a very late in the game attempts. republicans are worried about him that the proceedings had during the recess be presented [captioning performed by thenat, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2022] >> now live coverage of the u.s. house here on c-span. recogniti? ms. scanlon: mr. speaker, by direction of the committee on rules i call up house resolution 1119 and ask for its immediate consideration. the speaker

trump mastriano got late in the game, and lou barletta who he defeated was one of the original trumpers. he supported donald trump since 2016 and stayed with him and yet at the end of that race, trump showed no loyalty in return and that's typical and went to the winner instead with mastriano. this white house is concerned because mastriano has reappointed the voter roles who will oversee the election notification in 2024 and we've seen that slow process of trumpists running for governor and secretaries of state, trying to as one white house adviser put it, finish the job in trying to steal the 2020 election, they'll be far better positioned in the inside in state governments this time around in 2024. that's the concern and that's why so many democrats want to hear more from the president like he said yesterday. even if this is out of his federal powers, he can use the bully pulpit to decry this and mobilize democrats to defeat candidates like mastriano. >> jonathan, you put it so perfectly. it's not about partisan or primary politics. we're not on the air because of the intramural repu

the fact that lou barletta, mayor of hazleton, pennsylvania, represented that area in skongs as you see he did pretty well in the area that he used to represent, but we should not gloss over the fact that doug mastriano is the nominee here. this is a guy who was a leading election conspiracy theorist, aggressively sought to overturn the results in pennsylvania, one of the swingiest states in the country and, remember, a guy who if he is the governor appoints the secretary of state who counts -- oversees the counting of the votes. this is someone who is a fringe candidate five years ago, ten years ago. this is not a serious candidate for governor five or ten years ago in the republican party, now he's more than half a million votes easily the nominee. >> winning big. >> that's a big story. >> i want to show you something interesting here. i wish i could reset this right now, you touched something that -- >> oh, dear. >> that caused a problem. in any case, you can look and see the counties doug mastriano won in the senate race -- the governor's race. he was backed by donald trump. if you

it was about a week ago when lou barletta, the congressman who is now in second place here, came out very forcefully over the weekend and said to the former president, i gave you your loyalty, where is your loyalty in return to me? he was not happy because he did not get trump's endorsement. mastriano however he did and he has pulled into first place, denoted in orange, and you can see how many counties he is running up the score and it looks like some news organizations already called it for mastriano and we will see whether or not the hold up. if he wins, he would go on to take on josh schapiro, the ag in pennsylvania, but we are there yet, we are still in the senate race, 31%, sean, mccormick is hanging on, okay, but still, what are you, the quick math tells you you are 2.5, 3. different right now depending on what county checks in next. could be a long night. >> sean: i'm fascinated by it. interesting, donald trump, in terms of his endorsement was 58-1, as of now tonight, 75-1, let's see if that holds up in the senate race. certainly it is close. it is tightening now, dramaticall

barletta and bill mcswain and david white. the winner will face pennsylvania attorney general joshua peer row who is running unopposed. pennsylvania not the only state to watch. in north carolina, several republicans are competing for senator richard burr's seat. and facing off against former governor mcmccrory and mark walker, an army veteran, marjorie eastman. and they'll also decide if madison cawthorn will be able to keep his seat filled with controversy. and michele woodhouse and chuck edwards. >> joining us, earle louis, host of you decide podcast and maggie haberman, senior reporter for "the new york times." thank you for joining us, maggie, what are you watching in pennsylvania tonight? >> who wins, the main question, but in all seriously, i don't remember a race like this in a long time. they're all bunched up, the top three. it's not clear who is going to win. trump tried pushing mehmet oz over the top. he may still end up doing that. there are strategist be in the race who say they can see oz finishing third. the bi

they think he could have been better off endorsing someone like a lou barletta who with trump's backing would have been able to overtake mastriano. but barletta's backers and tom marino, specifically, they were stunned at the way trump handled the mastriano endorsement. apparently did not give barletta a call beforehand. this is one of the first people who came out in congress to endorse him in the first run. and marino made the comment that because of endorsement of mastriano, oz was adversely affected. they viewed that endorsements mastriano as an endorsement of barletta, too. and some of those ended up voting for dave mccormick. if you look at the counties that barletta is from, mccormick ended up pulling those out. it's way too close to call. >> and what you're hearing, dasha, from top u.s. officials in p.a.? >> yeah, down to the wire is right, hallie. what we're seeing is kind of deja vu, looking back at 2020, we had a similar conversation here a couple days after the election. we still don't have an outcome, incredibly close and the former president is trying to sow some doubt in

barletta and former u.s. attorney bill mcswain and businessman dave white. the winner will face pennsylvania attorney general josh shapiro, running unopposed for the democratic nomination. in pennsylvania, not the only place we're watching. in north carolina, several republicans competing to win the seat held by senator richard burr now. congressman ted budd received trump's endorsement, facing off against former governor pat mccrory, matt walker and marjorie eastman. another big race people are watching in north carolina, voters will decide if congressman madison cawthorn should get to keep his seat after a first term filled with a lot of controversies to say the least. his opponents are former district republican chair michelle woodhouse and chuck edwards. >> joining us now to discuss the pennsylvania races is jonathan tumari, national political reporter for "the philadelphia inquirer." this has been such a chaotic race, period, but also in the last several days. so i wonder the best way to do reporting on

he is trailed by lou barletta of pennsylvania and in these final weeks, as other republicans -- more mainstream republicans have started to see that his lead is not going away, they tried to consolidate report around barletta, though he is very aligned with donald trump, has said their questions about the 2020 and things like that and it remains to be seen if that is going to work. it's a very late in the game attempts. republicans are worried about him because he is somebody at the january 6 insurrections to meet -- insurrection and subpoenaed. he is extreme. a lot of his views are within the mainstream party right now, total bans on abortion, voting laws, things like that. in the republican establishment, there is concern he will not be strong enough to go against josh shapiro. host: what should viewers, washington journal viewers know about josh shapiro? guest: shapiro obviously you can tell a lot about him in the way he manages himself politically by the fact he is not contested. this is an open race for governor, senator tom wolf is term limited and you would expect there would

he was considered the favorited here and lou barletta really went after donald trump earlier this week because he did not get his endorsement that went to mastriano. we'll show you another thing not here, tucker is pretty interesting in north carolina. this came quickly last. okay, let me go ahead and set the machine for you and the senate race in north carolina, ted, but was endorsed by donaldd trump a year ago. he was an easy winner. the ap called it within 15 minutes. so ted. but we'll go to the runoff against sherry beasley in i the fall. now i want you to if i can, tucker here. if you f go the far western part of the state, it's congressional districtta 11 . madison cawthorn is a first time republican representative from north carolina and he was endorsedca by donald trump and republicans in that state. clear that off here and just come here full for a second here. chuck edwards, , the state senator , okay, he's at 37% of the vote. hawthorne isn't breaking 30% right now in that race now still a little bit of a vote out there right now, but you're about just 49%. so you're t about

barletta, the congressman who is now in second place here, came very forcefully over the weekend and said, you know, to to the former president , i gave you your loyalty whereas your loyalty in return for me he wasas not had because he did not get trump's endorsement mastriano howard did and he has pulled into first place here. he's denoted an orange . see you can see how many counties that he's running up the score and he looks like some newsd organizations have already called for mastriano and we'll see whether or not that holdsld up. if he wins, g thenn he would go on to take on josh shapiro, who is the ag in pennsylvania. but we're are not there yet her we're still in the senate race 3 at 31% now. sean mccormick's hanging on now. okay, but stillll what are you you know the quick math tells you you're two and a half to three point differenceg right now depending on which county checks in next. so you know some wow could be a long night if you're it'll be interesting to me. i mean, i'm fascinated by interesting donald trump in terms of his endorsement wasr fifty eight and one as of
