WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic voters in Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary will pick their nominees to flip four seats seen as critical for the party to retake the U.S. House in November.Republicans hold a slim House majority, and just a handful of seats could determine whether they continue to control the chamber next year. Democrats see four competitive Republican-held districts in Pennsylvania as among their top pick-up opportunities.U.S. Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick in the 1st Congressional District, Ryan Mackenzie in the 7th Congressional District, Rob Bresnahan in the 8th Congressional District and Scott Perry in the 10th Congressional District are all unopposed in their Republican primaries.Former Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris narrowly carried the 1st District in 2024, while Republican President Donald Trump prevailed by larger margins in the 7th, 8th and 10th Districts.
Voters across the commonwealth will also decide primaries for lieutenant governor and for both chambers of the General Assembly.Half of Pennsylvania’s 50 state Senate seats and all 203 state House seats are up for election in November. Democrats hold a slim majority in the state House, while Republicans have an edge in the state Senate.
