Democrat Conor Lamb Jumps Into Crowded Pennsylvania Senate Race

Democratic Rep. Conor Lamb jumped into the race to succeed retiring Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, entering a competitive and crowded primary field in a state where President Biden eked out a narrow victory over incumbent Donald Trump last year.—and for Mr. Trump’s favor. The hotly contested primaries will set the direction of the parties in a key battleground that could determine control of the 50-50 Senate, with major implications for the fate of Mr. Biden’s agenda.

“Pennsylvania is critical. It’s our top pick up opportunity,” said Sen. Gary Peters , the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Pennsylvania proved pivotal for Mr. Biden last year: Its 20 Electoral College votes pushed him past the 270. The swing state currently has one GOP senator, Mr. Toomey—a conservative who voted to convict Mr. Trump at his second impeachment trial in February—and one Democratic senator, Bob Casey, a moderate.

Mr. Lamb, a Democratic centrist and Marine veteran, shot to national prominence in 2018 when he won a special election in a traditionally Republican district where Mr. Trump had trounced Hillary Clinton two years earlier.
