A decorated combat vet vs the incumbent Democrat JAGass. We’ll see how this plays out.

Yep, I believe there’s many veterans in the district and though it’s an uphill climb he may just pull it off.

Despite Lamb’s (D) razor-thin 0.3% victory margin over Saccone (R) in 2018, Parnell will probably lose, thanks to redistricting that made Lamb’s new constituents significantly more Democrat:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections_in_Pennsylvania#District_17
[The former 17th district was in Northeastern Pennsylvania, but the new 17th district consists of suburbs west of Pittsburgh. The district overlaps with parts of the former 12th district, which is represented by Republican Keith Rothfus.[4] Rothfus has held office since 2013, and ran for reelection in the new 17th.[42]
The new map drew the home of Democrat Conor Lamb, who won a special election for the old 18th District, into the new 17th. The 17th is far less Republican than its predecessor, and voted for Democrats downballot, leading to speculation that Lamb would run for a full term in the 17th regardless of the special election result.[4] On March 14, Democratic officials in Beaver County, which is entirely within the 17th, received a written request from Lamb for their endorsement in the 2018 general election.[43] On March 20, Lamb formally filed to run for a full term in the 17th.[44]]

Democratic Congressman Conor Lamb, also a veteran . . .Lamb is a smarmy little prick who won his seat thanks to hard campaign work, lots of money and an ex-congressman (Tim Murphy) who resigned in disgrace because he couldn't keep his pants zipped and got caught.
Lamb's hokey veteran service consists of 14 months in the country club location of Okinawa prosecuting errant marines for local crimes. He was conveniently discharged early to accept a federal judicial appointment by the Obama administration because of a connected political pedigree.
Who else gets military gigs like that?

At the same time, it has to be said that PA might be going through the same trend as the Southern states - a gradual move towards the GOP as anti-white sentiment in the Democratic Party gets out of hand.
