Why is it that people think that Mastriano would be an underdog if he got the nomination but Lake would be favored?
I know Arizona has historically been much more Republican, but the two states only voted about one point apart in 2020. And both are equally nuts.
Shapiro has been elected statewide twice and outrun the top of the ticket by 3-4% both times. He also had no primary opposition and didn't need to take any leftist positions out of the mainstream. His base is the Philly metro and he will probably substantially out-fundraise Mastriano.
