Donald Trump has endorsed Doug Mastriano in the Republican primary for governor in Pennsylvania.

Mastriano has, for example, helped spread unsubstantiated claims from Trump and his allies that Democrats fraudulently stole the election for Joe Biden — something that Trump seized on in his endorsement statement.

"There is no one in Pennsylvania who has done more, or fought harder, for Election Integrity than State Senator Doug Mastriano," Trump wrote. "He has revealed the Deceit, Corruption, and outright Theft of the 2020 Presidential Election, and will do something about it." Trump called Mastriano "a fighter like few others, and has been with me right from the beginning, and now I have an obligation to be with him."

Mastriano is a prominent peddler of conspiracy theories, including Trump’s lies that widespread fraud marred the last White House race and resulted in his loss in Pennsylvania. Mastriano also has and said he would take the extraordinary step of requiring voters to "re-register" to vote. Such a move is barred by the National Voter Registration Act and likely runs into significant protections under the federal — and possibly state — constitution and laws, constitutional law scholars say. But his embrace of such a concept is a significant breach of democratic norms respecting the results of a free and fair election.

The Strange Post-Trump Politics of the Pennsylvania Republican PrimariesThe operating theory of just about every Republican race in 2022 has been that Donald Trump’s endorsement will clear the field. Why wasn’t that the case for the celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz? Republicans’ racism and xenophobia overwhelmed their cultish devotion to Trump. It’s like every other myth about Trump. People act as if it’s true when it’s not. Gee, did trump forget how he encourages racism, and dislike of Muslims? 🤔🤔🤔
