GOP congressman won’t run for governor in Pennsylvania, despite Trump’s promise to support him

SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 08 – Rep. Dan Meuser will not run against Governor Josh Shapiro in 2026, with analysts citing Shapiro's strong fundraising and political support as factors in Meuser’s decision.

  • On July 8, 2025, Rep. Dan Meuser announced he will forgo a gubernatorial run, choosing to stay in Congress to support Trump's agenda.
  • Amid speculation of GOP challengers, Meuser cited Trump-aligned momentum and a pivotal national moment as reasons for staying in Congress.
  • President Trump and GOP Chairman Rothman praised Meuser, with Trump saying, 'if you run, you have my full support,' highlighting strong party backing despite speculation.
  • Following Meuser's decision, the GOP primary field remains wide open, with Treasurer Stacy Garrity and Doug Mastriano emerging as leading contenders.
