Conor Lamb declares victory in his PA17 Congressional race against Army veteran and Trump favorite Sean Parnell: Amid a pandemic "We voted in record numbers....I can say confidently tonight that the people... have placed their trust in me for another two years."
Lamb: even amid divisiveness, "I believe that it still means something to say that we have common ground."
Lamb striking familiar themes-- the importance of healthcare and national defense, but also climate change and fighting the pandemic. "We have a historic opportunity tonight to bring people together... We are the majority, and we proved that tonight."
Lamb: "We can all ask for God's grace ... to forgive one another and to find a way to work together.... Our gov't can work well again, the way it was intended."
Lamb said Parnell had not conceded -- they have not spoken tonight -- and Parnell campaign has not replied to a WESA query. But Lamb campaign is confident that mail-in ballots have put then over the top in what had been a tight race.
