17. Lamb has yet to set foot anywhere near where the most Democrats live

which is here in SE PA. Even Tom Wolf, when he was first running and was a complete unknown over here made inroads introducing himself and touching base with a wide range of voters (including business types and old-school liberals, who took note of his Peace Corps street cred). Fetterman has literally done the outreach from the border with OH to that with NJ, and from the border with NY to that with MD, and also has liberal street cred having worked with AmeriCorps. Fetterman has also been a regular on M$M so he is "known" (particularly as a passionate firebrand).

What will make a difference is who emerges from the GOP clown car at the end of the primaries and whether they can appeal to any indies over here on this side of the state (who are already pissed off with the GOP shitshow after the 2020 election that continues with their attempting to do more faux (and ultimately illegal) "audits" ).
