Opinion | Conor Lamb can’t be trusted as PA’s next senator
.....
His brief tenure in the House of Representatives representing Pennsylvania’s 17th Congressional District has yielded indefensible votes — real gems such as voting to fund a border wall, prevent families with an undocumented parent from receiving stimulus checks and oppose marijuana decriminalization.
..........
Who’s to say, if he makes it out of the Democratic primary victorious, that he won’t make all of his silly centrist promises again in the general election and spend at least a year or two actually making good on them? He’s certainly done it before. Lamb voted in line with Trump’s position an inexcusable 68% of the time during the 115th Congress, which he joined in April 2018 after winning a special election.
..........

To repeat that last point, during Trump's first term, Lamb voted with Trump 68% of the time!!! .

Fetterman has voted against Trump over 90% of the time. Also, no matter how disappointed one may be in Fetterman, he is a million times better than Dr. Oz would have been in that Senate seat. Lamb was far less likely to beat Oz.
