The demographic makeup of the district alone (i.e. the entirety of the inner city, the Hill District, etc.) should swing it to Lee with relative ease. She pulls from the type of Democrat who isn't really Biden's key constituency, and there are an abundance here. Patel's ads hit Lee on not being supportive enough of the Biden agenda (i.e. being affiliated with "The Squad"), but that won't be an albatross for her. Patel would need to really run it up in some of these southern suburbs to have any shot. But I don't see it.

Lee's not vulnerable. Not in the slightest.

And it doesn't help that literally not that long ago Biden just shouted out Summer Lee (Plus Fetterman and DeLuzio) as allies who do good for their state, so...hard to run on "SHE IS ANTI-BIDEN" with that out there....

Like of the Squad, the only ones that are venerable are Bowman and Bush.

But because their opponents do have inroads, granted I don't think either are too weak for it to matter too much, but still enough to warrant me donating to them

She is the one most vulnerable in a General Election.

A short list of things that are your friend on here: Copy and Paste. The Tab button.

As for the election.. wonder how much of the expectations are different for a Congress member representing Pittsburgh (the 26th largest media market) as opposed to just having a larger market and having more expectations put upon you.

That might work better as a theory for Minneapolis (the 15th market) than for St. Louis (the 24th market) since STL is barely larger than Pittsburgh and Bush has had to deal with tougher primaries than Lee. Unless St. Louis perceives itself to be larger than Pittsburgh, which is a thing in baseball.
