One of Pennsylvaniaâs two U.S. Senate seats is up for grabs in 2022 as two-term Republican incumbent Pat Toomey prepares to step aside and the state braces for a particularly high-stakes election year.
The Senate opening has drawn plenty of interest from Democrats looking to shore up a narrow congressional majority, Republicans looking to limit key aspects of the Biden agenda, and observers believing the seat is likely to flip or too close to call. The race will be exceedingly expensive either way.
Democrats:
With less than a year to go until the primary (unless the date is changed because of redistricting issues), several higher-profile Democrats are officially in the running, while others are rumored to be waiting in the wings.
