“With a week to go, there’s a story of two elections emerging in western Pennsylvania, a critical region that could decide who takes the White House. At the presidential level, Democrats are biting their nails as the Kamala Harris campaign’s numbers have continued to sag in recent weeks. There are mixed indicators from polling and focus groups, but as of now the Pennsylvania race is a dead heat. Yet, in the state’s 17th congressional district, which in prior years has been a major bellwether for the presidential race, first-term Democratic Rep. Chris Deluzio stands on much more solid footing for his re-election bid. The 17th, which straddles Allegheny and Beaver counties, is the most competitive seat in the region, with more registered Republicans than Democrats as of 2023.” (10/29/24)
