Democrats Seek Alternative to Sestak in Pennsylvania

Top Democrats are pressuring Josh Shapiro (D) to run for the U.S. Senate, “a reflection of the party’s unease with second-time candidate, Joe Sestak (D),” the AP reports.

“Two people familiar with the discussions told The Associated Press this week that Democratic Senate leaders, including New York’s Chuck Schumer and the head of the Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, Montana’s Jon Tester, have spoken with Shapiro.”
