Summary
Democrat James Malone won a special election for Pennsylvania’s 36th state Senate district, flipping a seat previously held by Republicans in a district Trump won by 15 points.
Malone narrowly defeated Republican Josh Parsons by less than 500 votes, running on opposition to Elon Musk’s influence in the Trump administration.
Governor Josh Shapiro praised the victory as a rejection of extremism.
The win reduces the GOP majority in the state Senate to 27-23 and signals potential Democratic competitiveness in upcoming elections.
Now they need to do it again in Florida’s 6th district, which was classified intel leaker Mike Waltz’s broght red, +30 district. It seems like a slam dunk for the Republican candidate, but the Dem, Josh Weil, is running Republican-style attack ads, calling the Rep “un-American,” “anti-American,” “dangerous,” “radical,” “corrupt,” etc., while showing him looking fat, sweaty, and really ugly, which he is. Weil himself is particularly good looking.
In addition, Weil raised nearly $10 million, and has over $1 million on hand as we hit the home stretch (election on April 1), while the Republican only raised $1 million, and has less than $100K on hand. We are seeing at least 10 Weil ads for every Republican ad. I didnt see any Republican ads yesterday, but i saw Weil ads almost every commercial break.
The only worry is that Florida is fully rigged, and nobody is elected unless DeSatan wants them to win. Perhaps the Reps weren’t worried about raising and spending campaign money because the race has been fixed from the outset.
