Liz Cheney-endorsed Democrats lose their House races, including three-term Pennsylvania incumbent

Democrats looking for a boost in crossover voters might want to politely reject endorsement by former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who became a Democratic Party surrogate after endorsing nominee Kamala Harris in September.

Cheney-endorsed Susan Wild and John Avlon lost their closely watched House races to a Republican challenger and Republican incumbent, respectively.

Pennsylvania three-term incumbent Wild made a series of blunders in her campaign, including sending contradictory letters to pro-Israel and pro-Palestine constituents and mocking a Republican stronghold in her district in a leaked conference call with fellow Democrats, the Washington Free Beacon reported. An allied labor union even "offered $100 stipends to rank-and-file union members to attend" a Labor Day rally with her in Allentown.

She readily conceded to Pennsylvania state Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, calling it a "bitterly disappointing outcome" on X. Her attacks on Mackenzie as an anti-abortion extremist, which he factually rebutted, apparently didn't stick.

Former CNN anchor Avlon failed to unseat New York GOP Rep. Nick LaLota, whose district covers a Tetris-shaped block of Long Island, reaching only 44% of the vote, Decision Desk HQ projected early this morning. President Biden won the district in 2020.
