U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser won’t run for governor of Pennsylvania, despite having President Donald Trump’s recent promise of support.

Several other states are also facing new scrutiny in what the U.S. Department of Justice calls a national compliance effort.

Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity expects to make an announcement “very soon” on whether she will run for governor in 2026. In a statement to abc27 on Wednesday,

If Congressman Dan Meuser (R-9) decided to run for Governor of Pennsylvania, he would’ve had the endorsement of President Donald Trump. That won’t be the case in 2026,

Meuser announced his decision Tuesday night to run again for his northeastern Pennsylvania seat rather than seek the nomination to challenge Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro.

Sources close to Pennsylvania 9th District Congressman Dan Meuser (R-Luzerne) have confirmed to FOX43 News that the congressman will decline to seek the GOP nomination for governor in 2026. Meuser was widely seen as a frontrunner in the upcoming race to challenge Governor Josh Shapiro next year.

Meuser was a frontrunner for the GOP nomination, appearing on national TV on an almost-daily basis and making campaign-like stops around the state. On Tuesday, he announced he no longer plans to run.

Three candidates appear to be in the running so far. One has a half-endorsement from the president but the state treasurer is the early favorite.

Following a request for proposals in February, officials will host presentations from four vendors. The county’s existing equipment contract expires at year’s end. Luzerne is one of 13 state counties that use ballot marking devices.

Pennsylvania lawmakers say deepfakes can confuse political campaigns, harm reputations and help scammers manipulate people.

U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans (D-3rd District) announced on Monday that he will not run for reelection in 2026.

As the House moved to pass the GOP's marquee bill, Democrats began testing out the attacks they hope will win them back Congress in 2026.
