Pennsylvania Republican Senate Primary Stalemate

Pennsylvania’s primary voting is not really showing any surprises, including that one of the races is too close to call.

Pennsylvania’s Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman easily won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in the May 17 voting in spite of suffering a stroke and having a pace-maker implanted going into the vote.

The tattooed, 6-foot, 8-inch Fetterman is a progressive, supporting universal, government-funded health care.  He easily defeated moderate U.S. Congressman Conor Lamb, who is more in line with main-stream Democrats like President Biden.

It's not known at this time who will be facing Fetterman in the fall for the seat being left vacant by Pat Toomey (R) who has opted not to run.
