Election 2018Pennsylvania Election Results
One Senate seat is up for election in Pennsylvania, held by a Democratic incumbent. The state’s congressional borders were ruled unconstitutional in January and redrawn – this is the first time voters will be selecting representatives under the new boundaries. They will also be choosing a governor, an office currently held by a Democrat. See Pennsylvania’s primary results.
Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr. is considered one of the safest bets for reelection among the 10 Democratic incumbents running in states Donald Trump won in 2016. Trump won Pennsylvania by only 0.7 points. The president has repeatedly endorsed Rep. Lou Barletta (R), an early supporter, in tweets and rallies in the state.
