They had a very bad midterm election last year, losing four U.S. House seats and doing poorly in Senate and gubernatorial races.

[S]he said she grew embarrassed and unsettled by the exchanges, reviewed by The Inquirer, because she said DiGiorgio had “the upper hand” in their dynamic. They finally stopped communicating in February, after a written exchange in which she told him his messages amounted to him “sexually harassing” her.
