Tilt D. Fitzpatrick is not exciting enough to turn out Trumpists. He’s probably moderate enough to hang on to some of the potential swing voters in the Philly suburbs but I don’t see him flipping enough NEPA/Pittsburgh suburbs voters to win statewide. He probably plays very poorly out in the western side of the state...especially versus Fetterman. He’d probably do a lot better against Kenyatta tbh.
Co-sign. For all the hand-wringing about the D primary in 2022, the GOP nominee is gonna have to walk a fine line between attracting working-class swing voters from the Lehigh Valley+Erie, attracting professional swing voters in Philly burbs, and rallying the base in the rest of the state.
By voting no on impeachment+stimulus, Fitzpatrick killed his chances of getting all three.
