In her primary victory Tuesday in Pennsylvania’s 12th Congressional District, first-term Democratic U.S. Rep. Summer Lee not only far outperformed her lone challenger across the District, but she was also on track to far surpass her own win in the primary two years ago. The Associated Press called the race for Lee at 9:21 p.m. ET, when she led Edgewood Borough Councilmember Bhavini Patel, 59% to 41%, with more than half of the vote reporting. Lee was ahead in both vote-rich Allegheny County, which includes Pittsburgh, and in Westmoreland County, where she was trounced in the 2022 primary.
as you know, tomorrow there is a crucial election, that s why i m here. got to win this state. we did great last time. remember the polls, the fake polls? pennsylvania will go to hillary clinton. unfortunately for them, it didn t work out that way. fred keller is a tough man. he s tough on crime. he loves our military. when we campaign for people, they win. president trump at a rally monday in pennsylvania seemingly still struggling to look forward to 2020 without looking back to 2016. it was an event for the president s reelection campaign, but it was also an opportunity for president trump to urge voters in central pennsylvania to vote for fred keller, a republican running to represent pennsylvania s 12th congressional district. the next day the president tweeted out a reminder. pennsylvania, he wrote, don t forget to get out and vote today
rating earlier in 74 was higher among republicans but it was only at about 60%. so it was still much, much lower than it was at this point. what s going to happen to justin amash? i mean, look, he is vulnerable to a primary challenge. in 2014 he already faced one due to his unusual unorthodox voting style. he only won reelection by 14 percentage points over brian ellis. there is a primary challenger this year. the fact he is already vulnerable and president trump has come out against him, that s not exactly what you want if you are a vulnerable house republican. pennsylvania. it turns out that today, folks, it s election day, my favorite day. we have a special house election in pennsylvania s 12th congressional district between fred keller and mark frieden burring, the democrat, this is an overwhelming trump district, 66%. donald trump overwhelmingly won this district. this is the type of district we would expect a republican to wind by a rather large margin
