From the opening moments of the first Pa. Senate debate, U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb and State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta lobbed attacks at their missing primary opponent. “He didn’t respect you enough to show up today,” Lamb told the crowd.
From the opening moments of, U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb and State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta lobbed attacks at their missing primary opponent: the front-runner, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman.
“Conor is in the middle of a meltdown because he saw his poll numbers at 10%,” Fetterman said in an interview, referring to a survey released last week. “So he is resorting to these desperate smears against fellow Democrats that I wouldn’t choose to make, but that’s the campaign he’s running.”Conor Lamb’s challenge: Build his name. Take down Fetterman. And do it all with less money.
Kenyatta said incidents of vigilante justice have resulted in tragedy in recent years, and dismissed Fetterman’s frequent defense that he didn’t know the race of the jogger as irrelevant. Fetterman has long said he heard gunshots not far from his home, saw someone running in the area, called police, and then pursued the man himself to stop him from fleeing. An officer who responded to reports of gunfire searched the man and found he was unarmed, according to a 2013 police report.
A question about the federal debt limit was answered with a criticism of Fetterman’s openness to supporting Medicare for All — and how it would play in a general election against Republicans determined to hold the seat being vacated by“It’s another $30 trillion... and it scares people,” Lamb said of the program’s price tag. “That’s why the ‘socialist’ label sticks on John. That’s why that punch is going to land.
Fetterman said Sunday that his past support for a fracking moratorium was tied to calls for more environmental regulations that have since been met. He said that while he wants to fight climate change, Democrats have to “honor and take care of” workers and communities that depend on the energy industry, and acknowledge the national security implications of having domestic energy supplies.
