As Shapiro and Fetterman run as a ticket, Mastriano and Oz avoid each other

PHILADELPHIA — As Attorney General Josh Shapiro thanked a group of union workers gathered to launch a day of door knocking around Philadelphia, he gestured to Lt. Gov. John Fetterman waiting at the foot of the stage.
“I want you to just turn your eyes over here,” Mr. Shapiro said. “We’ve got the 51st [Democratic] senator in the house! Are we gonna send John Fetterman to Washington, D.C., to represent the union way of life?
“Hell, yeah!” the crowd replied.
When Mr. Fetterman spoke, he returned the Democratic love. “Josh Shapiro’s got Pennsylvania,” he said. “Send me to Washington, D.C.”
The Democratic candidates have largely kept to their own races, but their even occasional alliance is in sharp contrast to the candidates at the top of the GOP ticket, state Sen. Doug Mastriano and Mehmet Oz. While Mr. Mastriano and Mr. Oz have ignored each other, Mr. Shapiro and Mr. Fetterman have done a handful of appearances together and make a point to tout the other’s candidacy in stump speeches across the state.

All Mastriano does is make verbal jabs at Oz in media interviews. Oz says he endorses the "Republican ticket" but he won't mention Mastriano by name. As far as I know Mastriano's running mate, Carrie DelRosso, doesn't even want to be seen with him.
