“”””That reason is Conor Lamb, the rookie Democrat from southwestern Pennsylvania who just stunned the political world by marching into deep red territory and grabbing a seat from a Trump loyalist.””””

They forgot to mention that the democrat ran on Trumps vision and ideas.

And that there is a 50000 Democrat registration majority and that there is going to be a recount. Always propaganda.

I cannot remember where I heard it, but isn’t that district in PA about to be erased by re-districting? Lamb won’t be there long....??

If Lamb had run as a Republican and Saccone as the Democrat, it would have been a blowout election for the Republicans. Saccone wasn't a very good candidate (-7 points), and Murphy, the incumbent, resigned in a sex scandal (-7 points). It's also disingenuous to say "a district that Trump won by 20 points" because while Murphy ran unopposed, Toomey didn't carry the district by nearly as large a margin as Trump.
