The Associated Press, NBC News and Decision Desk HQ project that Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro will win a second term as Pennsylvania governor, defeating Republican state Treasurer Stacy Garrity. The Hill reports the Decision Desk projection and says the result was widely expected. The Washington Examiner, citing returns as of 8:01 p.m. EST, reports Shapiro with 85.4 percent to Garrity’s 13.9 percent. Pennsylvania is one of the biggest battleground states in the country, and the Examiner says the win could boost Shapiro’s prospects for 2028.
