Tight race for US House Pennsylvania seat
- 6 years ago
Tight race for US House Pennsylvania seat.A Democrat and a Republican are neck-and-neck in a Pennsylvania special House election viewed as a test ahead of November's mid-term polls.
The solidly Republican 18th congressional district race pits Democrat Conor Lamb against Republican lawmaker Rick Saccone.
The two are competing to replace Tim Murphy, who resigned last October.
But celebrations will be short-lived, as the winner will begin campaigning for a seat in a different district.
Due to new district boundaries imposed by the state Supreme Court in January, the 18th district will be split up into four different districts in November's poll.
