Conor Lamb (D-Pa.) announces his candidacy for the United States Senate at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers on August 6, 2021 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Jeff Swensen\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 6:40 PM PT \u2013 Saturday, August 7, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>On Friday, Rep. Conor Lamb (D-Pa.) jumped into the race to replace retiring Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.). The National Republican Congressional Committee congratulated Lamb\u2019s decision to run for Senate in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The organization said he is \u201copting to protect his own political ambitions rather than sticking around to clean up the disastrous mess he and House Democrats have created.\u201d Meanwhile, Republicans have been targeting Lamb\u2019s seat even before his announcement and consider it a pickup opportunity in their bid to take back the lower chamber.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCampaigns are marathons, but the Democrat candidates in Pennsylvania are already sprinting as far left as possible, embracing Bernie Sanders\u2019 agenda to ban fracking and destroy Pennsylvania energy jobs and agreeing with the Demorats\u2019 reckless tax and spending spree,\u201d said NRSC spokeswoman Lizzie Litzow.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Lamb faces opponents Eric Orts, a business professor, and Lt. Gov. John Fetterman.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Our democracy was born in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m running for Senate because I believe Pennsylvania can save it. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PASen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PASen<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VxN3yT9WqI\">https:\/\/t.co\/VxN3yT9WqI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/q8Ib3trtHC\">pic.twitter.com\/q8Ib3trtHC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Conor Lamb (@ConorLambPA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ConorLambPA\/status\/1423617173222735876?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/biden-admin-expected-to-issue-guidance-on-third-vaccine-shot-by-early-september\/\">Biden Admin.
