Political Opportunist Paige Hemorrhaging Support in PA-08

November 5, 2025

Last night, bright red warning signs began to flash for political opportunist Paige Cognetti.

Cognetti underperformed her 2021 election by 15 points. The more Scranton voters learn about how she increased their cost of livingendangered their children, and put their healthcare at risk, the less they like her.

Now, Cognetti faces a competitive primary where she’ll have to lurch to the left to win over her radical base. By the time the primary is over, she’ll be more extreme than fellow mayor and new Democrat party leader Zohran Mamdani.
 
“Political opportunist Paige Cognetti has seen a major erosion of support that will continue through to next year. The more Pennsylvanians learn about Cognetti, the less they like her.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
