Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, noted for bucking Trump on tariffs and Iran, faces a tougher re-election in Pennsylvania’s swing 1st District as voters like Mary Ryan consider backing his Democratic challenger, Bob Harvie. Fitzpatrick’s anti-Trump stance has aided his incumbency in the past, but Trump’s sagging approval and high fuel costs threaten Republicans’ slim House edge; he’s poured millions into attack ads, and with no debate scheduled yet, the race remains unsettled.
