Many pundits view Letitia James’s 2022 reelection as underwhelming and expect her to underperform the state’s baseline again this year.
However, many seem to forget just how dominating her initial win was - where she even outperformed Andrew Cuomo.
Here’s what the 1912 Presidential election in PA looked like, btw. 😳

The 1912 PA US House elections were chaotic. Teddy Roosevelt won the state with only 36%, and it trickled down the ballot. Many candidates were elected with <50% or even <40%.
Not to mention the state gained 4 seats but didn’t redistrict!

Computers did draw that map. For contrast, here’s a good example of what pre-computer and post-computer maps looked like in TX.
Needless to say that if Brown does pull out a win next month, the map will look just a tad bit different from his first statewide win (aka the battle of the Browns).
Keep in mind that when a pundit changes a race to “Likely,” it doesn’t mean the opposing party is headed for a win. It’s about the margin.
For example, no believed Dems would win the ‘18 OK Gov race, but it’s a classic case of a “Likely” margin win (mid 50s for the winner).
