Last evening I met Pennsylvania Representative Malcolm Kenyatta, now running for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Pat Toomey. (OK, I didn’t meet him in person, but on a Zoom meeting. Nonetheless, I think I got a good sense of who he is.) Ordinarily I would say that Mr. Kenyatta would have little chance of winning. He’s gay, liberal, black, and from Philadelphia.
He also cares about connecting with rural areas like Carbon County, he has a history of being able to work with reasonable Republicans, and his proposals are eminently reasonable, at least to me. I was impressed. Could he win? We live in a fluid world. I think he could.
