A poll from Susquehanna raised eyebrows this week when they posted Stelson with a nine-point lead, 48-39. Susquehanna is an average pollster based on its 538 accuracy rating, but they are based in Pennsylvania, and perhaps more importantly, its headquarters is in Pennsylania's 10th district. If there's one race you'd expect them to get right it'd be this one. They also have Harris up 5 in the district that Trump won by 4 in 2020.
So we'll see.
But if Janelle Stelson does manage to defeat Rep. Scott Perry, the Freedom Caucus-leading, Election denying, January 6 insurrection, Bible-thumping extremist who somehow finds himself representing a swing district, it would be a big blow to Republicans and Trump's chances in the state would likely be almost nil.
And fun fact: Stelson moderated Perry's 2018 & 2020 general election debates when she was a local TV anchor. I guess she's heard enough of his lies by now.
So it's one to keep an eye on on election night.
