Dem wins Trump district in swing-state Pennsylvania
Source: The Hill
A Democratic Navy veteran who served in President George W. Bush's Department of Veterans Affairs on Tuesday won a special election to fill a state Senate district in suburban Pittsburgh, a district President Trump won in 2016.
Pam Iovino will represent the state Senate district that covers parts of Allegheny and Washington counties after she beat out D. Raja, a businessman who chairs the Allegheny County Republican Party.
The district came open when the previous incumbent, Guy Reschenthaler (R), resigned to take a seat in Congress.
The results are an early hint at the difficult path President Trump may face as he tries to replicate his performance in Pennsylvania in 2020. Trump took 51 percent of the vote in the suburban district as he became the first Republican to carry Pennsylvania since George H.W. Bush in 1988.
