National Journal: PA-07 a warning sign to Dems

June 1, 2022

Susan Wild is in trouble this November – and National Journal reports that “[i]f Democrats are already facing tough odds to hold Wild’s district, it’s a sign of much larger problems for the party.”

The Cook Political Report downgraded Wild’s prospects last week in a district Biden won, and where Wild faces a rematch against Lisa Scheller, whom she defeated by less than 5 points in 2020.

Wild’s district in Pennsylvania “is the type of territory Democrats need to hang onto to win statewide” and her “political vulnerability should…be a wake-up call to Pennsylvania Democrats.”

NRCC Comment: “Susan Wild can blame her blind support for Democrats’ failed agenda for her grim reelection prospects this year.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Samantha Bullock
