Cawthorn Out; Republican PA Senate Race Undecided

 

Here's a quick summary of key races in Pennsylvania and North Carolina:

Doug Mastriano, a retired colonel and state senator who has propagated myriad false claims about the 2020 election and attended the protest leading up to the Capitol riot, won the Republican nomination for Pennsylvania governor...
