: “I came to office with an ambitious agenda, and I expected it to face stiff opposition in the Senate. I just hoped it would be from Republicans.” Even though the Democrats are technically in control of the 50-50 Senate, Biden has been unable to get the necessary votes on either of the bills that form the pillars of his agenda — specifically, Build Back Better and voting rights.
For that to change in the next two years, Democrats need their incumbents to hold on to their seats and pick up new ones. It’s hard to see a way for them to expand their majority, or even just hold control of the chamber, without winning the seat that Pat Toomey is leaving open in Pennsylvania. On the ballot in the Democratic primary are Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb, State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta, and Jenkintown Borough Councilor Alexandria Khalil.They all support
Build Back Better, expanding voting rights, and the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would codify the right to an abortion in federal law. Most important, they all support abolishing the filibuster — which is very likely the only way any of the biggest parts of Biden’s agenda can win passage. In lieu of substantive differences on the major votes , voters are left guessing who is the most “electable” and could actually win statewide. That is not going to be easy. A reminder: Biden’s margin over Donald Trump in 2020 was only
good lord.
I mean, we all know how meaningful news outlet endorsements are, don't we? 😏
Why are newspaper endorsements still a thing? Show me evidence they sway the electorate in any way whatsoever
For the love of god, Pennsylvania, Democrats across the nation beg you to vote for ConorLambPA so that we have a chance of winning the Senate seat & keeping the majority. GOP is praying that Fetterman is the nominee because they know they can beat him. PLEASE vote Lamb! 🙏
So they can make excuses about why they do nothing for another two years?
Donate to ConorLambPA today!
Correction, The Philadelphia Inquirer is endorsing Lamb cause Conor Lamb is one of the least grassroots funded candidates running on the Democrat's side and won't shake up the system as much as Fetterman would.
No surprise here. Inquirer has always had it out for Fetterman for reasons I’ll never understand. Oh well, Fetterman will continue to break the establishment.
Fetterman supporters coping in the comments. If you’re so certain John wins, then why does this scare you so much?
Good pick!
Fetterman has a much better chance at flipping this seat. He will win some of the conservative vote.
