Pennsylvania’s 10th congressional district, in the south-central part of the state, is seeing a match-up between six-term incumbent Scott Perry and Democratic challenger Janelle Stelson.
Perry, former chair of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus, has yet to face a strong challenger. He helped lead the Trump campaign’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Stelson is a former TV news anchor and former Republican who registered as a Democrat last year.
As of Wednesday morning, Perry was leading by less than one point, BBC’s US news partner CBS reported. But the race has not been officially called.
In Pennsylvania’s 8th district, Republicans flipped one seat in the district encompassing President Joe Biden’s hometown of Scranton.
Business owner Robert Bresnahan defeated incumbent Democratic Rep Matt Cartwright by two points. Cartwright has served six terms.
