Mastriano Turns to ‘Fasting and Prayer’ in Final Stretch

As his Pennsylvania gubernatorial campaign struggles to raise money and turn out supporters, Doug Mastriano (R) is planning “40 days of fasting and prayer,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

“While it is unclear who Mastriano expects to start fasting on Thursday, the recent entreaties seem to indicate that his campaign, which epitomizes what scholars call Christian nationalist ideology, has fallen on hard times.”

“The messaging has grown increasingly erratic, sometimes arguably bordering on nonsensical. One of Mastriano’s main attack strategies these days is emphasizing that he is taller than Shapiro.”
