Yes, that’s one of the races I was referring to. Sad that a Republican doesn’t even have a chance in that district.
There’s the very slightest of possibilities that this divisive (not really) Democrat primary could have a beneficial effect on Republican chances here.
I called this many months ago when Lee showed her antisemite stripes; CD-12 has a substantial Jewish community which DID swing to the right in November of 2023 in the local Allegheny County elections even though Lee herself had nothing to do with it directly. That community’s financial weight is far more substantial than its voting weight, but there’s no evidence that they are suddenly steering their “geld” to the GOP.
The 2023 elections *might* have been, to some extent, a foreshadowing regarding what happens this year in CD-12. If Lee wins today, November will probably be closer than many expect but whatever hope today’s outcome generates (if any) is highly likely to be false hope. Democrats still outnumber Republicans here by more than a 2:1 ratio and the November outcome would be something around 55-45 again.
