On Sunday's "Last Week Tonight," host John Oliver discussed Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano's victory in the Republican primary for governor. Mastriano, a far-right candidate endorsed by Donald Trump, will face Democrat and state Attorney General Josh Shapiro in November. Shapiro, a Democrat, had a campaign ad that appeared to boost Mastriano as his desired opponent. Oliver and other election observers have pointed out that it's a risky strategy in the Trump era of Republican politics.
