Updated November 3, 2026, 9:09 p.m. EST: Added the Associated Press race call.
Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro has won a second term in Pennsylvania over Republican Stacy Garrity, the Associated Press reports. Read the AP race call via WTOP.
The call concerns the governor’s race in a key battleground state, not Pennsylvania’s congressional contests. Shapiro was heavily favored in his reelection bid and held a large polling and fundraising advantage, Fox reported.
Shapiro previously served as Pennsylvania attorney general, a state lawmaker and a Montgomery County commissioner. Garrity, the state treasurer, is a retired U.S. Army Reserve colonel who deployed overseas three times, according to Fox’s account.
The governor has also drawn national attention as a potential contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. Tuesday’s result is for another four-year term as governor, not a decision about any future presidential campaign.
The AP race call is not a certified election result. No vote totals or margins are being reported here.
