Former Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) “never really stopped running against Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) after his narrow 2010 loss,” The Hill reports.
“Sestak announced in 2013 that he was already seeking another shot against Toomey. The former congressman has remained active in Pennsylvania politics since his loss, helping Democrats locally and statewide. And his strong, early signals that he would run again might have helped scare off many other potential opponents.”
