He's vehemently pro-choice, strong supporter of LGBTQ rights, big Union man, very strong on universal healthcare, affordable education for all, and legalizing cannabis. These are all democrat platforms. He scores an 85 on the progressive scale, which makes him marginally more progressive than Mark Warner, Maggie Hassan, John Tester, etc (the usual "conservative" democrats) Progressivepunch.org who tallies all their votes, gives him a score of A.
He's also a guy who doesn't bend on Israel, thinks the border's fucked up, is strong against crime and pro-LE, and wants tax cuts. Issues many republicans land on. But you know who else likes these issues? Moderate and middle America democrats. You know who really likes these issues? Pennsylvanians.
Is he perfect? No. Did he falsely represent who and what he is? Also no. Will he be reelected? We have no idea, but I wouldn't bet against him.
