NEW: Dems have a union problem in #PA08.
Several major unions are backing GOP Rep. Rob Bresnahan despite past support for Dems.
“Overall the Democratic Party is better for unions" the regional AFGE leader told me. But he said Bresnahan's had unions' backs, so "you don't just jump off that train."
Dems say it's power of incumbency and that challenger Paige Cognetti has several big unions in her corner, too.

In @politico today: "Democrats have a union problem in working-class Scranton."
Political opportunist @PaigeGCognetti is hemorrhaging support from Pennsylvania workers.
Things are only going to get worse for Cognetti.
The @Phillies hit 4 game-tying or go-ahead homers in the 9th inning in their series against the Nationals.
That's the most by any team in a single series in MLB history.
The @Phillies are the only MLB team in the modern era to be down to their last strike with nobody on base in the 9th inning 2 games in a row but win both.
Kudos to @RepBresnahan for focusing on the local issues that matter and supporting all communities across #PA08. Looking forward to seeing the Milford Star shining brightly again soon!
If you're a law-abiding citizen in #PA08, political opportunist @PaigeGCognetti wants to strip you of your Constitutional rights.
However, if you're a criminal? Cognetti wants to give you a "safe space" and a pat on the back.
Paige Cognetti: pro-criminal, anti-Pennsylvanian.
More than 10,000 federal workers from Tobyhanna Army Depot and the WB VA Medical Center are standing with @Rob4PA because they know he’ll stand up for them and fight for their jobs, safety, and futures.
AFGE members know what it means to serve. I’m honored to have their endorsement and support as we continue fighting for the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania. 🇺🇸
After @PaigeGCognetti claimed the PA @Teamsters endorsed her on April 28th, they ACTUALLY endorsed @Rob4PA yesterday, June 18th.
Why? Because Rob Bresnahan is ACTUALLY for the working class.
Newsworthy? @PoliticsPA
It’s true. @Rob4PA rushed straight from Washington to Honesdale to inspect flooding damages and get to work.
He will never stop fighting for his neighbors in #PA08!
Small business owner Tom Fasshauer praises @Rob4PA for fighting for Pennsylvanians:
"He’s doing a great job…I think he cares a lot about the people in this district.”
THE VIDEO: Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 passes over the Tunkhannock Viaduct.
A 1.2-million-pound steam legend crossing one of the largest concrete railroad viaducts ever built. Nicholson, Pennsylvania delivered an unforgettable scene today.
The people of Northeastern Pennsylvania, not multi-national corporations, know what’s best for our communities.
My legislation protects local governments from costly legal challenges and ensures community voices come first.

Maybe your consultants are too busy trying to elect a Nazi in Maine to get their facts straight, but I crossed the aisle and literally forced a vote for those tax credits.
Tough ending, but what a season.
Thank you to the players, coaches, staff, and fans for making this season special.
We’ve supported you from the beginning and we’ll be back next year. 🐧
