if that happens.

I’m guessing he has polling that suggests he would be vulnerable to a Republican challenger but he could end up losing to a Democratic primary opponent at this rate and probably should.

reason is if he did he wouldn’t get any attention as a rethug as he does as a Democrat.

I live in PA, I’m not a fan at all, but, he usually votes with us. Much more reliable than Manchin or Sinema. PA is a very divided state politically, so I can understand some of his stances, however, I think he’s unwell mentally and I’d prefer he be primaried.
