Like Fetterman, he’s from the western part of the state, but unlike the former Braddock mayor, Lamb has tried to cut a more moderate image, which could be advantageous in a general election. Lamb first came to Congress in a 2018 special election, winning a conservative district that Trump had carried comfortably two years earlier. Malcolm Kenyatta as the major candidates trying to flip this seat blue. John Fetterman – the biggest fundraiser in the race – Montgomery County Commissioner Val Arkoosh, who has the backing of EMILY’s List, and state Rep. The Marine veteran and former prosecutor, whom Biden once said “reminds me of my son Beau,” joins Lt. Conor Lamb made official his campaign to replace Toomey.

Pat Toomey is not running for reelection. President Joe Biden carried Pennsylvania in 2020 after former President Donald Trump narrowly carried it in 2016, and it’s now an open seat since GOP Sen. Our ranking first published in March, and was updated in April, May and July. As the cycle heats up, polling and advertising spending data will also become factors. The top 10 Senate seats most likely to flip are based on CNN’s reporting and fundraising data, as well as historical data about how states and candidates have performed. One of Democrats’ top targets – Pennsylvania – remains the seat most likely to flip. The passage of a sweeping infrastructure plan in the Senate on Tuesday gives both parties plenty of ammunition heading into a midterm campaign season – look no further than the most competitive Senate seats for how that will play out.ĭemocrats are on offense in six of the 10 top races they’re trying to flip those red seats blue, and they’ll be pointing to the $1.2 trillion package as a shining example of what Democratic control can deliver for the American people, while some GOP candidates attack it for spending too much money.
