I had exactly the same thought, please for the love of God do not recruit Lamb to run against Fetterman. I never really trusted Fetterman or any “cult of personality” type politician, but the only reason I wanted him to become a Senator was to keep Lamb from reviving the Blue Dog wing of the Senate.
I cannot express how terrible a choice Sorkin is for this project, his work as a director is mostly mediocre at best. Dude somewhat managed to sanitize any real leftism from his movie about the Chicago 7 and now wants to give a definitive recounting of the way they are driving the world into the ground? His script for the originally mostly only worked because he had such a great director guiding it.
