See Berwood Yost's comments in the LA Times about the state's mid-term races:

"If you were doing a thought experiment” about a midterm election in Pennsylvania with a president whose job approval is as low as President Biden’s is now, “the question you would probably ask is how far ahead the Republican candidate would be," said Berwood Yost, director of the Center for Opinion Research at Pennsylvania’s Franklin & Marshall College.

Watch Berwood Yost on @BBCWorld discussing the PA Primaries

Primaries and money

This primary will be unique in Pennsylvania, considering how much money several candidates for governor and the U.S. Senate have spent to represent their parties in the November general election and we’ve been seeing those TV commercial since January.
