The Divided States of Pennsylvania: My tour of PA from the urban Acela corridor to rural farmland to Appalachia to the industrial Midwest to show what makes the state so complex and politically competitive. Hop on for the ride: inquirer.com/politics/elect…
An interesting point considering Trump won this district by nearly 9 pts BUT: it still has Dem roots and Bresnahan is a freshman who won by just 6k votes, so he’s not a fixture as a Rep yet Dems still need a candidate. Many waiting on Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti
This stock trading issue is not going away for him and, per people I have talked to, makes this the seat Republicans are most anxious about losing, after the Bacon seat in NE.

Good to hang out with my journalistic colleague Clark Kent who writes for the “Daily Planet.”
How long did this photographer wait for the exact right positioning?
Tillis thought it was clear when he voted for him and swallowed those major concerns. nytimes.com/2025/02/13/us/…
Sen. Thom Tillis suggests that he wouldn't vote to confirm Defense Sec Pete Hegseth, if a vote were to be held again today. “With the passing of time, I think it’s clear he’s out of his depth as a manager of a large, complex organization,” Tillis said in interview w/ @jaketapper
