HARRISBURG â Democrats in the Pennsylvania legislature are calling for the state Senate to investigate a Republican member who attended Wednesdayâs Trump rally in Washington and marched to the U.S. Capitol steps before insurrectionists attacked the building.
State Sen. Doug Mastriano (R., Franklin/Adams), a retired military colonel who is considered a possible candidate for governor in 2022, was seen in social media photos outside the Capitol with Rick Saccone, a former Republican state lawmaker and failed 2018 congressional candidate. In a since-deleted video, Saccone urged Trump supporters to storm the Capitol.

Pennsylvania state lawmakers denounced violence in Washington on Wednesday after a mob of Trump supporters breached the U.S. Capitol to impede the official count of Electoral College votes.
. HARRISBURG Pennsylvania has greatly increased the amount of daily coronavirus testing it conducts since the pandemic began last spring, but still falls short of many states and lags far behind what some experts say is needed to actually suppress the spread. Over the last week, the state has reported an average of 17,859 new PCR test results per day or roughly 143 tests per 100,000 people, according to Spotlight PA’s coronavirus tracker. This number represents the number of individual people tested, not the total specimens reported. That’s fewer than all but four states and Puerto Rico, according to Johns Hopkins University’s testing tracker.
