The day's activity is dominated by high-frequency messaging from Governor Josh Shapiro and Paige Cognetti.

2rising1new1steady

The day's activity is dominated by high-frequency messaging from Governor Josh Shapiro and Paige Cognetti. Shapiro is aggressively promoting Cognetti as a replacement for Rob Bresnahan, while Cognetti's campaign is actively engaging in town halls and addressing anti-corruption messaging in the PA-08 race. Meanwhile, the PA-17 race saw a significant focus on a debate between Chris Deluzio and Tony Guy, with posters highlighting Guy's perceived lack of clarity on Trump tariffs and cabinet preferences. There is also notable friction regarding campaign communications, with some voters expressing frustration over the volume of emails received from Shapiro's office.

Themes

What people said

Rob Bresnahan has enabled Donald Trump's chaos, cruelty, and corruption — cutting healthcare to give a tax cut to those at the very top.

Tony Guy clearly isn't ready for primetime. He's spent the debate hitting #PA17 Rep. Chris Deluzio for getting results while in Congress.

In PA, Brian Fitzpatrick is running ads touting how bipartisan he is.
