Where do Democrats vying for U.S. Senate in Pa. compare on key issues?

[TexasTowelie]

Democrats running for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania remain united in efforts to maintain control in Congress. But the race has seen a tone shift in recent weeks — with the three leading candidates attacking each other as they compete for the party nomination ahead of the May 17 primary election.

When Lt. Gov. John Fetterman skipped a debate earlier this month, U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb and state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta accused him of avoiding questions about his record and past actions. Their accusations focused on a 2013 incident where Fetterman — with a shotgun in hand — confronted Christopher Miyares, a Black man, who Fetterman believed was involved with nearby gunfire.

Police never charged anyone in the matter.

Fetterman, serving as mayor of Braddock at the time, has denied pointing the firearm directly at Miyares. Fetterman’s campaign has suggested that Lamb, D-17th District, revived the incident because he is not making headway with voters.

After the confrontation, Miyares told reporters that Fetterman pointed the shotgun at him. In a letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Miyares — currently incarcerated for an unrelated crime — said Fetterman knew he was Black and pointed the loaded shotgun at him.

1. And Ralph Notham was in blackface in college

Turned out to be a pretty good governor.

2. and Fetterman is still the best one for the job....

... he's a solid progressive...
... I'd guess Lamb is a nice guy, but Fetterman has the CV of getting things done....
... of course, seeing him in a suit all the time will have a certain shock value to his term in office...

3. Which Democrat has the best chance of defeating Dr. Oz or McCormick?

Bottom line is which Democratic Senate candidate has the best chance of winning. I'd love to see polls matching the various candidates. I like both Fetterman and Lamb, but I don't know how they'd do vs the GOP.

4. Really, Fetterman has the best chance of defeating any republican.

Fetterman is known thru out the state and has support of not only democrats but republicans that are not thrilled the way the republican party is going.
