HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA — Facing fresh voter registration losses in the state and President Joe Biden’s plummeting ratings, Pennsylvania’s Democratic state party committee declined to put its full support behind any Senate candidate. The closed party primary contest takes place in May.

The decision came despite an aggressive push by Rep. Conor Lamb to earn the party’s endorsement this past weekend. Conor, who hails from suburban Mt. Lebanon, failed in two ballots to earn the coveted nod from committee members for the state’s open Senate seat.
