she did fine, outran the top of the ticket by 2 points. Just with the turnout differential that's likely to exist between 24 and 26 she probably wins comfortably.
No Democrat can hold that seat down (at least how it's currently configured) for "decades to come". That area is trending red at a rapid clip. I'll take someone who has won that seat before (i.e. Wild).
yeah and also betting that a 35 year old will want to hang around for 30 years when they could run for governor or senate or serve in the cabinet etc... isn't a particularly smart way to do politics. There's too many variables to vote for someone on the basis they'll serve fifteen terms in the House.
Good to see Wild's thinking about a rematch. Hochul should pack it in.
I personally do not think Wild should run again. Her performance was not that great since Trump only won PA-07 by 3 points.
2026 would be the perfect time to pass the torch to a new fresh face.

True, but Dems donтАЩt need her to win the seat back.
yeah but probably better than a random untested candidate who could have baggage that comes out in October
Susan Wild will be 69 in 2026. Why should we go for her rather than someone who can hold down the seat for decades to come?
For similar reason I don't think Dems should go for Cartwright again either.
