Former President Donald Trump will be headed back to Pennsylvania in September to hold a ‘Save America’ rally in support of gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano (R) and Senate hopeful Mehmet Oz (R) three months ahead of the November midterms.
An advisory through Trump’s Save America PAC said Trump would hold a rally with Mastriano and Oz on Sept. 3 in eastern Wilkes-Barre, Pa. The advisory came at the same time that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) held an event organized by Turning Point Action in Pittsburgh in support of Mastriano.

According to TheHill.com, Oz’s campaign has sought to show that Fetterman is not authentically engaging with voters on the ground, at one point pushing out a basement tracker on how long the campaign claimed Fetterman was not on the campaign trail in public.
Meanwhile, Mastriano is considered a controversial Republican gubernatorial candidate who has previously pushed dubious claims about the 2020 election. His candidacy proved contentious enough that a group of Republicans came out in support of his Democratic opponent, Attorney General Josh Shapiro.
For Mastriano’s part, he’s received the support of all but one House Republican in the state.
