Washington, D.C. – Conor Lamb’s campaign continues to suffer with only four days left until the primary election. He never solved his identity crisis and hasn’t been able to get anything right – from taxes to endorsement lies, paying supporters of defunding the police and abolishing prisons, and ethics violations. In addition to these gaffes, The New York Times laid out a few more and called his campaign message “outdated.”
Democratic strategists in Pennsylvania said the Lamb campaign’s missteps included running the race as if Mr. Lamb were the front-runner, failing to aggressively attack Mr. Fetterman and focusing almost exclusively on the message that Mr. Lamb was the most electable Democrat, when base voters appeared to want someone more partisan. And they said the campaign placed too much emphasis on winning endorsements from the Democratic establishment, when voters seemed to show that they did not really care. – The New York Times
At a recent debate, Mr. Lamb said he knew how swing voters felt about many issues. “They’re looking for stability and caution in their leadership,” he said. But that message, with its echoes of Mr. Biden’s 2020 campaign, may be outdated. – The New York Times
The combination of all of this looks less than promising for Conor Lamb who seeks to be the Democratic Senate nominee for Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Lizzie Litzow: “Conor Lamb hasn’t been able to get anything right from Day 1 of his campaign for Senate and it’s finally catching up to him. With four days to go, Lamb has little to no hope changing course now.”
