    I doubt PA will be more red in 6 years. It’s always been a tight race, but besides Trump, it’s generally been tight in the dems favor. When the GOP held onto Toomey in '16, it was because the dems put up such a shitty candidate (oddly enough, that’s because Fetterman took the progressive vote and the most conservative dem won the primary that year)

      As an incumbent Fetterman will have advantages and his reelection is a Long way off but he really should have clobbered Dr Oz and he got 51% of the vote? It’s enough but I feel like it should have been more. I’ll be pulling for him that’s for sure though.
