it was close. it s almost the president called him lamb the sham. that s what you re getting to. he s going to vote with democrats. lamb is going to vote with the democratic caucus. i think lamb is in places like western pennsylvania a good prototype for what democrats should do, which is basically be as close to a moderate republican as possible. he was also just a particularly appealing candidate. they know two things about district 18. primarily because we ve been talking about it for a while and i see it in social media, but leading the local politics, they ll see solve redistricting. a new district. and when that happens, then you have to take a look at the democrats that were in there and are they going to be you could make the argument that some republicans voted for lamb, too. absolutely.
