big news in PA-01

After weeks of negative headlines piling up, the Cook Political Report has moved PA-01 from Toss Up to Lean-R.

Here’s a timeline of how we got to this point:

• March 23: The Philadelphia Inquirer calls Scott Wallace out for claiming a homestead tax credit on his Maryland home AFTER he started campaigning in Pennsylvania
• May 11: The Washington Free Beacon exposes the multi-millionaire for campaigning in a Mercedes after he claimed to not drive luxury cars
• May 16: Jewish media outlet Forward.com reveals Wallace gave $300,000 to pro-BDS groups
• June 21: Fox News reports Wallace bankrolled an organization that gave a platform to a man convicted of brutally murdering a Philadelphia police officer
• June 22: Townhall.com highlights Wallace’s $400,000 contribution to ACORN, a far-left organization that was exposed for committing widespread election fraud
• June 26: Fox News reports Wallace funded a legal fund for Gitmo detainees just after 9/11

Cook put it best: Scott Wallace is a walking disaster.
