Donald Trump Jr. mentioned as possible GOP Senate candidate in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania Republican Pat Toomey will reportedly NOT run for reelection in 2022:

So, who’s it going to be?

I’ll just say that I’ll never forgive Pat Toomey for his background check nonsense in 2012 – so good riddance.

At the same time, who can the GOP run statewide who can win?

Vice’s Todd Zwillich says one name he’s hearing a lot is Donald Trump Jr.:

In my convos with PA Republicans today, among the many many names in the mix for the open Senate seat: @DonaldJTrumpJr. He’s played a deep role in Trump campaign in PA, has installed many allies in county and state party positions.

Don’t laugh, it could happen:

In @carloslozadawp's review of "Triggered," he notes how Don Jr. uses his time at an elite boarding school in rural Pennsylvania and his education at Penn to play up his Rust Belt bona fides for a potential campaign.https://t.co/redgi0UJ8y https://t.co/ioHQwPDnvs

Don’t laugh. Speaking of Proud Boys, Don Jr has become an idol of the white supremacist whites. https://t.co/7eDc0Gb1WD
