Further, five of Pennsylvania's 13 Republican House members have either quit or are not running again, helping create seven chamber vacancies this cycle. Trump’s narrow victory in battleground Pennsylvania marked the first time a Republican presidential nominee won the state in nearly three decades. But Trump won the state by posting big numbers in traditionally conservative, rural areas and limiting Clinton’s success in the suburbs. Still, GOP House incumbents, particularly those in districts Trump won, are sticking with the president’s agenda of cutting taxes and growing the economy. Meanwhile, Republican state Rep. Rick Saccone, who lost to Conor Lamb earlier this year, is fighting for a comeback in the redrawn 14th district.
