GOP House Campaign Arm Cancels Ads in Pittsburgh

September 21, 2018 · 4:56 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“The National Republican Congressional Committee’s independent expenditure unit is cancelling its remaining ad reservation in the Pittsburgh media market through Election Day – a potentially grim sign for Rep. Keith Rothfus (R-PA),” The Hill reports.

“The move comes weeks after the NRCC pulled the plug on reservations in the area for Sept. 12-Oct. 8 and could signal that the committee may be losing confidence in whether Rothfus can defeat Rep. Conor Lamb (D-PA) in November.”
