(10,851 posts)20. Lamb's voting record in the House was significntly worse than Fetterman's has been in the Senate

To repeat that last point, during Trump's first term, Lamb voted with Trump 68% of the time!!! .
Fetterman has voted against Trump over 90% of the time. Also, no matter how disappointed one may be in Fetterman, he is a million times better than Dr. Oz would have been in that Senate seat. Lamb was far less likely to beat Oz.

Opinion | Conor Lamb cant be trusted as PAs next senator
.....
His brief tenure in the House of Representatives representing Pennsylvanias 17th Congressional District has yielded indefensible votes real gems such as voting to fund a border wall, prevent families with an undocumented parent from receiving stimulus checks and oppose marijuana decriminalization.
..........
Whos to say, if he makes it out of the Democratic primary victorious, that he wont make all of his silly centrist promises again in the general election and spend at least a year or two actually making good on them? Hes certainly done it before. Lamb voted in line with Trumps position an inexcusable 68% of the time during the 115th Congress, which he joined in April 2018 after winning a special election.

Sorry, but despite AOC's "apology", there is zero evidence that Lamb would have been better.
