John Fetterman rejected Conor Lamb’s electability claims by winning the Pennsylvania Democratic Senate primary. JuliaTerruso takes an in-depth look back at the primary battle.
PITTSBURGH — As Conor Lamb greeted voters outside of an elementary school polling place, Johanna Stankorb put on her “I voted sticker” and shuffled out of his way.
Lamb “looks like he was manufactured in a lab to run for the Senate in 1996,” said Alison Dagnes, a political science professor at Shippensburg University. “People hate politicians. There’s so much shade thrown against politicians these days,” she said, which left Lamb, who might have been the conventional image of electability in the past, struggling to gain traction.
But being “most electable” is an argument that can feel vague — particularly in a primary where you can’t campaign against the other party, as Biden did with former President Donald Trump, Ceisler said.Even voters considering electability, though, overwhelmingly rejected Lamb’s brand. In a moment when Democrats and Republicans alike are frustrated with government, Fetterman ran ads promising to fight Mitch McConnell and the establishment.
