BRADDOCK, Pennsylvania — Last week, a memo circulated by Penn Progress, a group supporting Conor Lamb in Pennsylvania’s open-seat Senate race, warned donors that Lamb was trailing John Fetterman by 30 percentage points. At the time, many in Washington expressed shock that the golden child of the 2018 midterm elections was losing to the state’s sitting lieutenant governor, a man despised by his party’s establishment.

But spend any time in the state or talk to Democratic primary voters about what they really want, and none of the information comes as a surprise.
