4 GOP candidates for Pennsylvania governor set rules to join a debate
HARRISBURG, Pa. - Four Republican candidates for governor in the party's crowded primary race say they will not join a debate before the primary election unless it is moderated by a Republican who lives in Pennsylvania, eliciting criticism that they are afraid of hard questions.The four — Lou Barletta, Jake Corman, Bill McSwain and Dave White — issued the joint statement Monday night, eight weeks before the May 17 primary election.That prompted a response from Republican candidate Charlie Gerow, who suggested the four are scared of a challenge and said he is "not afraid to debate anytime, anywhere, any candidate on the ballot."Another Republican candidate, Melissa Hart, said the four's "diva-esque debate demands" are hypocritical for men "who will leap at the chance to bemoan ‘cancel culture' or ’safe spaces' if they think it will earn them a spot on cable news that night."The Democratic Party piled on, saying the candidates are afraid of "mean questions."The Republican primary is unusually crowded, with nine candidates filing paperwork to run, more than party leaders expected or have ever seen in a such a high-profile primary contest.The big field is the reason the candidates said they would restrict their participation in debates to ones moderated by a Republican who lives in Pennsylvania, who has not criticized the candidates, or donated money or endorsed in the race.Democrat Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania’s two-time elected attorney general, has a clear path to the party’s nomination.
