On Twitter, Lamb said he had just gotten off the phone with Saccone and congratulated him "for a close, hard-fought race." Officials from the National Republican Congressional Committee and state Republican Party said Wednesday night that they were dropping any such plans in light of Saccone's concession. Saccone is running in a new, more Republican district in Pennsylvania's southwest corner that retains much of the territory he and Lamb campaigned in for the last four months. In the race, Lamb downplayed opposition to Trump, who remains more popular in the district than nationally. Lamb, however, distanced himself from Pelosi and held national Democrats at arm's length while he easily outraised Saccone in campaign cash.
