The House Republicans’ campaign arm added Rep. Keith RothfusKeith James RothfusLobbying world Conor Lamb gets 2020 challenger touted by Trump The 31 Trump districts that will determine the next House majority MORE (R-Pa.) to its list of endangered Republicans on Friday, moving to protect the congressman now that new congressional district lines threaten to give him a tough race in 2018.
Rep. Steve StiversSteven (Steve) Ernst StiversGOP lawmakers say Steve King’s loss could help them in November Longtime GOP Rep. Steve King defeated in Iowa primary Five things to watch in Tuesday’s primaries MORE (R-Ohio), the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, announced the move on Friday in a brief statement. “Congressman Rothfus’ passion for liberty and American prosperity make him an irreplaceable member of our Conference,” Stivers said. “Our impressive roster of Patriots for the 115th Congress welcomes Congressman Rothfus, and is proud to back him in the 2018 election so he may continue to serve the people of Pennsylvania.” Rothfus has served in Congress in 2013, cruising to victory ever since a tough race to join Congress in 2012. But the Pennsylvania Supreme Court declared the state’s congressional lines unconstitutional last month, and the new lines drawn by the court make Rothfus’s path to reelection more difficult. Under the old lines, Rothfus’s district voted for President TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE by more than 20 points in 2016. But the new district backed Trump by just a 3-point margin, threatening his reelection prospects in an election atmosphere that’s expected to favor Democrats. So while Rothfus wasn’t expected to have a serious challenge in 2018, he could now. It’s been less than a week since the court released the new lines, and GOP lawmakers like Rothfus are suing to block the decision, so it’s not yet clear who might run against Rothfus. But Pennsylvania Democrats are talking about the prospect of Conor Lamb, who is running a strong race ahead of next month’s special election in a nearby district, running in the redrawn district.
