Attention, fellow conservatives! It’s time to saddle up and tune into the show, the showdown, the battle royale for the Keystone State of Pennsylvania. It’s a wild ride, folks, with Republicans chomping to snatch up those juicy seats held by Democrats in the House. We're here to break it all down for you, so hold on to your MAGA hats, and let’s dive into the chaos.
First up on the chopping block is the district currently occupied by Rep. Susan Wild, a Democrat clinging to her seat by the skin of her teeth since 2018. Seriously, we’re talking nail-biter territory here. The Republicans are lining up to take a crack at her, and who can blame them? They’re practically salivating at the thought of flipping this seat and sticking it to the liberal agenda.
PA-07, Hold, Incumbent, Rep. Susan Wild: Susan is again on the list of most at-risk Democratic members being targeted by both sides. She squeaked by with a 51 percent win in 2022, but this being a presidential year may not make the race easier: https://t.co/CGqfhTdQwc pic.twitter.com/wmj5RIM2GA

Now, let’s meet the contenders, shall we? We’ve got state Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, veteran Kevin Dellicker, and attorney Maria Montero all throwing their hats into the ring. And boy, oh boy, are they not holding back. They’re taking swings at Wild left and right, accusing her of being a career politician out of touch with the hardworking folks of Pennsylvania. They’re calling her out on her so-called “moderate” facade and painting her as a card-carrying member of the radical left.
And get this, folks – Wild’s victories have been shrinking faster than a cheap sweater in the wash. She won by a solid 10 points in 2018, but by 2022, she was barely hanging on by a thread, scraping by with just a 2-point lead. Yikes! It’s like watching a balloon deflate in slow motion. Needless to say, they can smell blood in the water, and they’re circling like hungry sharks.

But hold onto your pearls because this race is far from over. Wild is putting on a brave face, touting her bipartisan record and painting herself as a champion of the people. She’s talking about healthcare, workers’ rights, and affordable childcare, hoping to win over those undecided voters and keep her grip on that precious seat.
Folks, it’s a dog-eat-dog world out there, and Pennsylvania is ground zero for the political smackdown of the century. So grab your popcorn, settle in, and get ready for the ride of your life because this battle for the House will be one for the history books. Keep those conservative flags flying high because it’s going to be a wild, wild ride to November 2024!
