Packed Democratic primary looms for Pennsylvania Senate seat

Democrats see one of their best chances to gain ground in the Senate during next year's midterms as flipping the seat of retiring Republican Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey. But first the party will have to endure a potentially bruising primary with a bumper crop of compelling political figures who don't break neatly down along the moderates-versus-progressives divide that has defined other high-profile races this year.

Lamb campaigned then with Biden, who likened Lamb to his son Beau, who died of a brain tumor in 2015. The pair share many of the centrist values championed by the Democratic establishment — which has helped moderates win several much-watched races this year, including Tuesday's special congressional primary in Ohio.

Also in the Democratic field for next May's primary is Dr. Val Arkoosh, chair of the board of commissioners in Montgomery County, one of the well-off Democratic suburbs where women have led the drive away from the Republican Party. Arkoosh has been endorsed by EMILY’s List, which promotes female candidates who support abortion rights.

The could leave Lamb in a better position. His district, with a healthy swath of suburbs and a moderate profile, could give Lamb an edge in the more populous suburbs, said Erie County Democratic Party Chair Jim Wertz.

I thought it was just Fetterman. Did something happen in the last week for the establishment of the Democratic Party to have the confidence to run an establishment candidate?

Democrats spar over how to pass the Pennsylvania testPennsylvania is likely Democrats’ best pickup opportunity next year as they lay the groundwork to defend or possibly expand their 50-50 Senate majority And Conor Lamb will not win the primary or the seat. I have nothing against him and his district will likely get absorbed into mine, but Fetterman is the best bet to win state wide. Interesting the headline includes “defend” or “expand” … uh … let’s see did you miss one? What’s the opposite of expand? Is Politico even considering that option? Liberal hacks.
