Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano said he accepted the results of Tuesday’s election.

Republican Doug Mastriano had yet to concede Pennsylvania’s gubernatorial election nearly two days after it was called for Democrat Josh Shapiro despite members of his own party calling for him to do so.

Doug Mastriano posted a few times on Twitter and Facebook but did not make a statement or concede.

The state’s two-term elected attorney general ran to the middle on several key issues and smashed Pennsylvania’s campaign finance record in a powerhouse campaign.

Doug Mastriano ran a campaign on right-wing ideals, including limiting abortion access, slashing taxes and environment regulations, expanding the fossil fuel industry and protecting Second Amendment rights.

They are vying to succeed Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, who is constitutionally barred from seeking a third term.

Former Govs. Tom Ridge, Mark Schweiker, Ed Rendell, and Tom Corbett said the state’s election process will be “open and transparent.”

Both addresses offered a vision of freedom — and of the threat their opponents pose to it.
