Conor Lamb

I think you ended on a, on a good note there with the, with the point.

And I mean, it's interesting 'cause from the primary, John Fetterman's primary, I liked Conor Lamb in that primary.

Right.

And all of the progressives and people like Hasan Piker have owned this, that they were wrong.

And like, they're pretty unhappy now [laughs] because in the ten percent of times that John Fetterman isn't voting for the party, it's about Israel, or in a large majority of it.

You know, it's keeping the government open even when the party is trying to exact concessions that are for the benefit of Americans, like having your healthcare, and about Israel and sending, uh, you know, money for weapons, uh, offensive weapons.

So, uh, Conor Lamb egg on a lot of people's faces.

And, you know, I'm curious as to whether Fetterman will even decide that he does wanna run for re-election.

I didn't make much of it.

I mean, going way back, I was a supporter of Conor Lamb in the primary.

I thought Conor was exactly what the party needed to do.

There was a lot of other elements of the party that thought Fetterman was the future, got all excited like they did about a candidate up in Maine.

An August New York Times Philadelphia Inquirer Sienna poll found that 22% of the state's registered Democratic voters view him favorably, while 73% of Republicans do.

Last week, former Democratic Representative Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania called on the senator to resign.

And Representative Brendan Boyle, a Democrat of Pennsylvania, said that Fetterman is a disgrace, adding, Meanwhile, Senator McCormick thanked Fetterman for his support and said, Today, you'll hear from the right and left about Fetterman's future.

Then executive editor Isaac Saul will give his take.

No, I think you're right.

And I would just note that I think a lot of people in Pennsylvania, some of the Democratic voters and some of the Democratic strategists and whatnot, old folks like Conor Lamb and Malcolm Kenyatta, like an apology.

Sherrilyn Ifill, she posted on Threads the other day.

She's a very prolific Threads poster, by the way.

I didn't make much of it.

I mean, going way back, I was a supporter of Conor Lamb in the primary.

I thought Conor was exactly what the party needed to do.

I don't know.

Good thing you don't have that dumb old Conor Lamb in there voting reliably and wearing a suit.

That guy, woof.

the Republicans failed to unite in 2022 between these disparate visions and because of these bad candidates who also hurt them with persuadable voters.

But yes, I couldn't find any any statements since this Wall Street Journal article dropped.

But someone else who's been vocal, former U.S. Representative Conor Lamb.

He was in office from 2018 to 2023, came on the scene in a special election for one district and then all the maps were redrawn and he won again in another one.

As of his last run, he lived in Mount Lebanon.
