FILE - Doug Mastriano, the Republican gubernatorial nominee in Pennsylvania, speaks at an event on July 1, 2022, at the state Capitol in Harrisburg, Pa. Mastriano's far-right views on everything from abortion to the 2020 presidential election would squander an otherwise attainable seat in a critical battleground state. But now, as the general election season intensifies, the GOP machinery is cranking up to back Mastriano's campaign and attack his Democratic rival, Josh Shapiro. (AP Photo/Marc Levy, File)
