Pelosi’s Majority Crumbles: Conor Lamb Announces U.S. Senate Run, Not ReelectionJacob Bliss 6 Aug 2021
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) chances of keeping the wafer-thin House majority are dramatically falling as Rep. Conor Lamb (D-PA), a member the party spent millions on getting elected, announced his U.S. Senate bid.
As Lamb joins the crowded primary field to try and replace Republican Sen. Pat Toomey (PA), who announced his retirement at the end of his term earlier this year, he’s leaving his vulnerable seat open for a possible Republican to pick up instead of defending it.
Republicans have put Lamb on their targeted seat list since the beginning of the midterm election cycle. The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) put Lamb on their “Exit List” of members they have been watching. The list consisted of members “likely to retire or run for a different office in 2022.”
In an interview before his announcement, Politico reported he mentioned “his string of competitive House victories,” which he believes will help him in his Senate bid. However, Lamb only won reelection by less than ten thousand votes against Sean Parnell, who is also running for Senate.
