3 of the Rs are in swingy PA CDs.

PA-1, Fitzpatrick, has been a bit of white whate for Dems, but this past Nov, Dems swept all the Bucks county row offices. Fitzpatrick noticed.

PA-7 and PA-10 narrowly flipped from D to R in 2024, but very likely to flip back in 2026. McKenzie and Bresnahan are on thin ice and have known it since they were unexpectedly elected.
