Republicans Downplay Pennsylvania Race, But Note Tough Road Ahead

Republicans largely downplayed Tuesday’s special election in Pennsylvania, where a Democrat is poised to win in a solidly GOP district. But they acknowledged it’s another reminder of the tough midterm election cycle ahead.
The race in Pennsylvania’s 18th District had still not been called late Wednesday morning. Democrat Conor Lamb currently leads GOP state Rep. Rick Saccone by 627 votes in a district President Donald Trump carried by 20 points in 2016. Republicans were bracing for a loss in the final days of the race and were already placing blame on Saccone’s lackluster fundraising.
