Geoff Diehl, with support of Trump, wins GOP nomination for governor in Mass.; he will face Democrat Maura Healey in November.
"He has embraced the Trump playbook of anger and extremism, and he opposes a woman's right to abortion access and reproductive health care," Healey campaign manager Jason Burrell said."Massachusetts cannot afford the extremism of Geoff Diehl."
The challenge for Diehl in the general election is that support of Trump may play well among the party's conservative wing but could be a political albatross in a state where registered Republicans make up less than 10% of the electorate compared to about 31% for Democrats and about 57% for independents.
"I am so proud to be able to stand before you tonight as your Democratic nominee for governor of Massachusetts," Healey told supporters Tuesday night. Healey said she would fight to cut housing and health care costs and make child care more affordable. She also signaled a focus on transportation. Primary candidates for several Massachusetts state offices were out in force Monday making their final pitch to voters. There hasn't been a lot of suspense for the state’s top job on the Democratic side as Maura Healey is running unopposed for governor. But a feisty race for the Republican nomination has been playing out all summer.
