A longtime congressional stronghold for Republicans, Pennsylvania is emerging in dramatic fashion as a source of hope for Democrats in their quest to take control of the U.S. House in November's mid-term elections. This week cemented Democratic victories in two key battles: Republicans dropped talk of legal challenges to Democrat Conor Lamb's improbable victory in a special election in southwestern Pennsylvania and federal courts rejected two GOP lawsuits seeking to block a state court-drawn map of more competitive districts.
The Supreme Court refused Monday to block the redrawing of Pennsylvania's congressional districts, handing Republican leaders a stinging defeat and giving Democrats a chance to make important gains at the polls in November. The high court's action completed a one-two punch against the GOP-dominated state legislature.
After the victory of Donald Trump in 2016, the GOP held the Senate and House, two-thirds of the governorships, and 1,000 more state legislators than they had on the day Barack Obama took office.
First it was Jon Ossoff, the Georgia whiz kid reeking of progressive enthusiasm and tech upstarts, who lost to Karen Handel in a special House election last year. Now another model has emerged off their Wunderkind-o-Matic: Conor Lamb, the thirty-something Marine Corps vet who aimed to succeed former congressman Tim Murphy in Pennsylvania's 18th district.
Donald Trump Jr., President Trump's eldest child and the father of five himself, is being sued for divorce by his wife Vanessa. Vanessa Trump, 40, a former model and actress who married Trump Jr. in 2005, filed late Thursday in New York for an uncontested divorce, according to the court docket.

More than $10 million, a visit by President Donald Trump , the mobilization of the GOP army a all to buy a tie? Republicans fought to almost even in a district Trump carried by nearly 20 points in 2016, and where Democrats had stopped bothering to even field House candidates in recent cycles. Plus, the district won't even exist this time next year.
Deep in the heart of rust-belt Trump country, in a congressional district where Democrats didn't even bother running a candidate in recent elections, and were clobbered by 28 percentage points the last time they tried competing, you could hear the rumblings of a potential political earthquake. Democrats appear likely to have won a squeaker in a special election outside Pittsburgh, with votes still being counted overnight.
If Democratic contender Conor Lamb wins Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District on Tuesday, it will send shock waves across the political landscape. President Trump won here by 20 percentage points in 2016, and many strategists see this mostly white, working-class district as a testing ground for the November midterms.
A loss in a district Trump carried by 20 points in 2016 would amplify Republican anxiety about November's midterm elections and sharpen questions about the damage the president's low approval ratings are doing to the party. The mere fact that the race is close, in a district that should be such favorable territory for the GOP, is an ominous sign, according to strategists from both parties.
