Rep. Conor Lamb’s Senate candidacy in Pennsylvania has set the battle lines in another Democratic primary that will test the moderate establishment’s might against the progressive left’s resolve.

Gov. John Fetterman, known for his working-class wardrobe and crusade to legalize weed, and state Rep.
“I’m open to hearing what they all say,” Linda Klingaman, chair of the Potter County Democrats, said before introducing Lamb here. She added that, though she believes a moderate nominee would be “much more capable” of attracting GOP voters, Democrats also must weigh base issues such as women’s health and the environment.
