A surge by conservative commentator Kathy Barnette is scrambling Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate primary just days before voters head to polls, shaking up one of this year’s crucial midterm-election contests.
Pennsylvania is one of a handful of battleground states that will decide control of the Senate, along with Arizona, Ohio and others. Republicans are widely expected to regain control of the House of Representatives, and betting-market odds also give the GOP high chances for taking the Senate. PredictIt sees a 76% chance for Republican control of the Senate, and 86% for the GOP taking the House.
Ahead of Tuesday’s primary, meanwhile, Barnette’s rise has Trump redoubling his efforts for Oz, saying in a statement on Thursday: “Kathy Barnette will never be able to win the General Election against the Radical Left Democrats.” The ex-president said Barnette has “many things in her past which have not been properly explained or vetted,” without giving examples. But Trump said he could support her in the future.
