Pennsylvania Democrats won every statewide judicial race. This fact was not lost on Senator John Fetterman, who said, “The Democrats are in turmoil.”
According to a statement to PoliticusUSA from Senator Fetterman’s office:
I want to congratulate the next Mayor of Philadelphia, Cherelle Parker; the next Allegheny County Executive, Sara Innamorato; judges Dan McCaffery, Jill Beck, Timika Lane and Matt Wolf; Philadelphia WFP City Council candidates Kendra Brooks and Nic O’Rourke; and Democrats across PA on their historic victories last night.
Despite all the bedwetting, Democrats are in turmoil. We worked hard and won, and a year from now we’ll do the same to give Joe Biden PA and re-elect Bob Casey.
I was proud to support and help these and many other Democrats across the political spectrum get votes. We don’t have to agree on every issue – when Democrats are united and focused on defeating Republicans, we win.
Last night showed that standing up for abortion rights is winning everywhere, and that using school boards to go after trans kids is not just a moral failure – it’s also a political loser.
And finally, congratulations to Ohio for introducing legal marijuana. Your move, Pennsylvania.
The media continues to claim that the Democrats are in disarray, and they point to the polls to make their case, but Election Day is getting closer, the Democrats are showing up at the polls, and they keep winning.
At some point, the media has to realize that it is not the Democrats who are in disarray, it is the Republican Party led by a chaos monger who faces 91 misdemeanor violations.
Sen; Fetterman was right. Pennsylvania Democrats are united and focused on winning, which is bad news for Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell, both of whom have made Pennsylvania key to their hopes in the 2024 election.
Democrats can’t take anything for granted, but as long as they block out the noise and keep showing up to vote, they will win the election.
