Democrat Conor Lamb clouted on Wednesday his Republican opponent in a U.S. House of Representatives special election on Trek 13 in Pennsylvania had conceded the race.
Lamb made the statement on Whirl about Rick Saccone, cementing a stunning Democratic upset in a long-time Republican locality that President Donald Trump won handily in 2016.
Conor Lamb tweet: Objective got off the phone with my opponent, @RickSaccone4PA, who congratulated me & graciously conceded most recent Tuesday’s election. I congratulate Mr. Saccone for a close, hard-fought race & have a mind him the best. Ready to be sworn in & get to work for the people of #PA18.
“Just got off the phone with my antagonist, @RickSaccone4PA, who congratulated me & graciously conceded last Tuesday’s election,” the tweet clouted in part.
