Democrats hope to dislodge Trump loyalist Scott Perry in Pennsylvania

Perry faces a second challenge from Democrat Janelle Stelson after he narrowly defeated the former local television anchor two years ago.

Stelson has crafted a platform designed to sway moderate Republicans that includes crediting Trump for strengthening border security.
