At Pennsylvania Society, jockeying for the 2024 race for state attorney general gets going

Clout will be in Manhattan this weekend to track the machinations — and shenanigans — of the political class at work and play in the bustle of cocktail parties, fund-raisers, and black-tie dinners known as Pennsylvania Society.

One hot topic: Who runs for state attorney general in 2024?

...snip...

Bill McSwain, the former U.S. attorney in Philadelphia who finished third in the Republican primary for governor, is being courted to run and could capitalize on the name recognition he gained with voters in that race.

U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb, the Allegheny County Democrat who finished second in the primary for U.S. Senate, could do the same. Lamb, who is leaving office for a job at the powerhouse law firm Kline & Specter, tweeted last week: “I hope to return to public service one day, perhaps soon.”

Two more potential candidates have big-time roles next month as the state Senate holds an impeachment trial for Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner.

The key would be getting an endorsement from Gov. Shapiro.
