Let's look at Conor Lamb [View all]

https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/conor-lamb-manchin/

When Lamb first came to Congress he voted with Trump positions 68% of the time. One of Lamb's closest allies is Joe Manchin, even attended a fund raiser with Joe. Some of Lamb's largest contributors are from the fossil fuel industry. Lately Lamb has changed his voting stance, voting with Democrats 99% of the time, my how he has changed since deciding to run against a popular progressive Democrat.

John Fetterman does not accept contributions from fossil fuel executives, lobbyists, or PACs, which are some of Lamb's biggest donors.

Will Conor Lamb continue to vote with Democrats if he were to become a Senator, or will he revert back to voting 68% Republican?

Conor Lamb has some explaining to do.

I am from Pa. and I am one of John Fetterman's small donors. Wife and I are voting for John because he brings enthusiasm to the race, will bring out voters to vote for people like Josh Shapiro. I am excited, can't wait to vote.
