Barlotta vs Buchtan, R primary PA Senate SD46

This contested primary on the Republican side for SD46 should tell us about the Trump coalition.

Buchtan is running as an outsider on sort of the conservative/libertarian idea of affordability. Small govt, no taxes, low utility costs, term limits. You get the idea.

Barlotta is specifically embracing Trump. Deport "illegals", drill fossil fuels everywhere all the time, but nothing about cost of living.
