Conor Lamb makes his contrast argument for Pennsylvania Senate bid

But first: We told you on Thursday that top Democratic primary candidates have been holding their fire so far when it comes to negative ads and attacks.

Well, we got our hands on an interview that NBC10 Philadelphia political reporter Lauren Mayk conducted with Pennsylvania Senate Democratic candidate Conor Lamb, in which Lamb makes his contrast argument versus fellow Democratic frontrunner John Fetterman.

The interview will air on Sunday, but here’s a sneak peek Mayk sent us.

Q: Why should you be Pennsylvania's next senator?

Lamb: “I think I have the experience of doing the job serving in Washington. I have actually worked on and voted for most of the really important bills that we need our next senator to vote for. ... I've also shown I can win in tough areas.”

Q: Can you represent Philadelphia's progressive voters?

Lamb: “I always ask people how you define a word like progressive. I think you should define it by results, just not the rhetoric you use or speeches you give. What are the results that you get? And by choosing someone like Joe Biden as our president, which Philadelphians did, and by sending people like me back to Congress that kept us in the majority, we got one of the most progressive pieces of legislation ever done in our lifetime. It was the American Rescue Plan.”
