CONOR LAMB

Democratic U.S. Rep. Susan Wild, of Pennsylvania, is returning to Congress for a third term following her reelection win over a Republican who runs a manufacturing business.

A third competitive seat, just north of Pittsburgh, consists largely of the voters who elected Democratic U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb to Congress for the past couple terms. In northeastern Pennsylvania, Republicans hope conservative activist and former Trump administration official Jim Bognet will reverse his 3.6 percentage point loss to Cartwright in 2020. Wild's campaign argues Scheller has cut her U.S. workforce and sent jobs overseas, while Scheller blames Wild's support for spending bills under Biden for voters' economic problems. Shaffer said he would position himself in Congress as “a pragmatic, common sense problem solver” and wants term limits and nonpartisan redistricting policies. “The union way of life is a huge thing here in western Pennsylvania," Deluzio campaign manager Matt Koos said.

Three races among Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation have taken shape as some of the closer contests in the country this year.

Pennsylvania's Senate and gubernatorial races are among the most critical races in the midterm election on Nov. 8.

Fetterman won the Democratic nomination while in the hospital, easily beating U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb.

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman has been released from the hospital after a stay of more than a week following a stroke.

After a day of balloting in five states, a another notable contest also remained uncalled: Rep. Kurt Schrader (D) was facing a spirited challenger from his left for the Democratic nomination in Oregon's 5th congressional district.

Tuesday was the most dramatic primary night so far this election cycle. High-profile battles were fought in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, while voters in Idaho, Kentucky and Oregon also went to the polls. The night’s marquee contest — the GOP Senate primary in Pennsylvania — has yet to be decided, with TV personality Mehmet Oz…

The 6 foot 8 goateed Senate candidate prevailed in the Democratic primary less on the strength of detailed policy proposals than on vibes.

Pennsylvania has an open Senate seat for the first time in 12 years. Fetterman's Republican opponent was not yet decided. The GOP primary was close going into Tuesday, with three front-runners.

Donald Trump’s choice for Pennsylvania governor has won his primary, and his Senate pick is locked in an exceedingly close contest as the former president works to expand his hold on the Republican Party.

Madison Cawthorn's unexpected victory in 2020 made him the youngest member of the House and a rising Republican star — until the scandals started piling up.

There are closely-watched primaries in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Oregon.

Former President Donald Trump’s winning streak in U.S. Senate primaries is on the line Tuesday as voters in five states cast their ballots in midterm elections.

A new round of primary elections across the U.S. this week is exposing heightened tensions within the Democratic Party.

Lamb was the model Democrat in 2018 -- a congenial, non-offensive candidate. But these days, Democrats in Pennsylvania say they want more.

Sensing a threat in Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race, Donald Trump has issued a warning that surging Republican candidate Kathy Barnette would upend the GOP’s chances of holding the seat in November.

President Joe Biden has an election year message for frustrated voters: At least he’s trying.

With one month to go until the primary election, Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, John Fetterman, is leading in the polls for the Democratic Party’s nomination for an open U.S. Senate seat while the Republican race has narrowed to an expensive two-person contest.

Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate primaries get real, special elections unfold in every time zone, and Wisconsin holds the year's most contentious local races yet.

Seven weeks before Pennsylvania’s primary election, Conor Lamb is sharpening his attack on Democratic primary rival John Fetterman in their race for U.S. Senate. “He doesn’t want to talk about the fact that he chased down an unarmed Black man and held him at gunpoint. And we have to talk about it.”A third Democrat in the primary, Malcolm Kenyatta, who is Black, echoed Lamb. A Franklin & Marshall College poll in February found that Fetterman appeared to have an early lead in the Democratic primary, but many voters are undecided. Braddock — a town that is about 70% Black — reelected Fetterman 10 months later “because they know this incident had nothing to do with race,” Katz said.

Conor Lamb is accusing rival John Fetterman in Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary for U.S. Senate of skipping candidate forums to avoid talking about a 2013 incident in which he confronted a Black man, shotgun in hand, because he suspected the man was involved in gunfire nearby.

Conor Lamb is accusing rival John Fetterman in Pennsylvania's Democratic U.S. Senate primary of skipping candidate forums to avoid talking about a 2013 incident when, shotgun in hand, he confronted a Black man because he suspected the man was involved in gunfire nearby. The accusation more directly inserts issues of race into a campaign that could hinge on which candidate appeals to Black voters. It might also damage Fetterman and his party with a key voting bloc whose support would be important should he become the Democratic candidate in the general election in November.

John Fetterman is leading Pennsylvania’s Senate primary by double digits, according to a new poll released Thursday, a sign that the self-identified populist is sustaining the momentum he’s enjoyed for much of the race. Fetterman earned 33.4 percent of support from Democratic primary voters in a new poll from The Hill and Emerson College. His…

“John comes off as an outsider; that’s been the case from Day One as far as the state party goes,” said Aaron Stearns, the Democratic Party chair in sparsely populated Warren County. Still, there was a strong undercurrent that Jan. 29's state party committee vote was more about which Democrat can win in November than it was about Lamb's outreach. “It’s difficult to know what the electorate is going to do,” said Greg Stewart, the Democratic Party chair in Centre County. 1 choice of state Democratic Party committee members: Tom Wolf for governor in 2014, Kathleen Kane for attorney general in 2012, Joe Sestak for Senate in 2010 and Ed Rendell for governor in 2002. Neither has the Senate Democrats' national political arm, as it did against Sestak in 2010 and again for McGinty in 2016.

Pennsylvania’s Democratic Party committee members backed U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb by 2 to 1 in an endorsement vote over Lt. Gov. John Fetterman in the primary race for the state's open U.S. Senate seat.

John Fetterman was sitting, alone, in the corridor outside the hotel ballroom where Pennsylvania's Democratic Party committee members were gathered, looking every bit like someone who didn't belong there. Moments later, Fetterman — Pennsylvania’s sitting lieutenant governor — got trounced by more than 2 to 1 by U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb in the endorsement vote in the party’s primary race for U.S. Senate. In barely two months, Democrats will find out if the party's electorate feels differently about nominating Fetterman, a mold-breaking candidate much better known to Democrats than his rivals, to be its standard-bearer in a premier Senate contest.

Pennsylvania's high-stakes race for an open U.S. Senate seat is seeing candidates bringing big bank accounts and big-time connections from blue states.

Democrats see one of their best chances to pick up a Senate seat during next year’s midterms in Pennsylvania.

Rep. Conor Lamb (D-Pa.) announced Friday that he'll join the Democratic primary race for the U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania currently held by Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), who plans to retire. Why it matters: The centrist Lamb, 37, joins a crowded field in a state that's critical for Democrats' chances of retaining control of the Senate.

Sean Parnell announced his candidacy Tuesday for the Republican nomination for Pennsylvania’s open U.S. Senate seat.

Lamb’s dilemma is a window into the Democratic Party's debate over how to win elections in Pennsylvania and across battlegrounds. “It’s kind of amazing that we even have to ask what the Democratic Party has to do to appeal to working-class people,” Lamb said. Pennsylvania's Democratic Party, in fact, has only twice nominated a woman for one of those offices and never a non-white candidate. Another candidate could be Sharif Street, the vice chair of the state Democratic Party and a Black state senator from Philadelphia. Fetterman has since joined the Democratic Party mainstream in defending the gas industry — popular with blue-collar unions — as a transition to a clean energy future.

That's enough, if set aside, to swing the election to Trump. “We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case,” Trump said hours before the high court filing. Shortly before tweeting about joining Paxton's case, Trump distanced himself from the Pennsylvania challenge, saying it wasn't his. “The case everyone has been waiting for is the State's case with Texas and numerous others joining," he said. Biden beat Trump by more than 80,000 votes in Pennsylvania, a state Trump had won in 2016.

The Supreme Court has rejected Republicans' last-gasp bid to reverse Pennsylvanias certification of President-elect Joe Bidens victory in the electoral battleground. “We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case,” Trump said hours before the high court filing.

She later campaigned in Goldsboro and Fayetteville, North Carolina, two cities with a large share of Black voters. Biden is focusing on turning out Black voters in the final stretch in part to avoid a narrow outcome that could prompt Trump to seek an advantage in the courts. Those are states where both candidates have spent a significant amount of time in the final days of the 2020 election. “Most Black voters in Philly have been skeptical of mail-in voting,” said Joe Hill, a veteran Democratic operative-turned-lobbyist from the city. There’s little chance that Trump will win all that many more Black voters this year, though his campaign believes it has made inroads with young Black men.

WASHINGTON Two months from Election Day, President Donald Trump and his allies are feeling new optimism about Pennsylvania, a battleground state that flipped in his favor in 2016. "Between the record enthusiasm for this President, our unprecedented ground game, and trends in Republican voter registrations, the Commonwealth, once again, is ready to deliver for President Trump this November, Nick Trainer, the Trump campaigns director of battleground strategies, said in a statement. On Tuesday, Vice President Mike Pence held a Workers for Trump rally at a construction company less than 15 miles from Bidens hometown, Scranton. Still, Bidens path in Pennsylvania is seen as more complicated than winning back Wisconsin and Michigan, the two other blue wall states Trump won by less than 1 percentage point four years ago. Latrobe, the site of Trumps Thursday rally, is about an hour outside Pittsburgh in Westmoreland County, which Trump won by large margins four years ago.

Biden celebrated his new status as the Democratic nominee alongside his wife and grandchildren in a Delaware school library. For his part, Trump spent Tuesday courting battleground voters in an effort to distract from Bidens convention. And Bidens supporters consistently report that theyre motivated more by opposition to Trump than excitement about Biden. The Democrats party elders played a prominent role throughout the night. Kerry, 76, was the Democratic presidential nominee back in 2004 when the youngest voters this fall were still in diapers.
