Before 2022, the last time the Pennsylvania Democrats won the State House was back in 2008. They won 104 seats that year, but featured a totally different coalition than what Obama put up to win at the same time.

Rural, WWC support for the Dems offset suburban Obama/GOP voters.

I had to update our logo for #NationalPretzelDay .

Oh wow, this is one of the biggest polling locations in the City of Pittsburgh.

The PA version of this ad would likely have to be filmed at a turnpike service plaza.

Trying to make sense of Tuesday's primary election results? Don't strain your brain too much. In a low turnout, low information election, old school factors like geography and name recognition become key. W/ Angela Couloumbis and Katie Meyer spotlightpa.org/news/2024/04/p…

A qualitative map of different eras of urbanization in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County and Southwest PA.

The Pittsburgh region saw the lowest presidential primary turnout since 2012, but interestingly Dems still beat GOP in showing up to the polls, when usually it’s the opposite when a Dem incumbent is in the White House. triblive.com/local/westmore…

New analysis of primaries in Allegheny Co. — with MAPS 🗺️

Haley did best in affluent suburbs

Lot of write-in votes against Biden in PGH + some suburbs, but many municipalities had more Phillips votes than write-in

I recall Ben Forstate saying a few years ago that south central PA would be the place to watch in the next few cycles. Looks like that was a good guess.

Also shout out to the party discipline of the Bedford County Democratic Committee!

These are weird maps

Maybe we can debate whether Pittsburgh is Midwest or not, but the Laurel Highlands just isn’t.

Both Bob Casey and Dave McCormick were uncontested in tonight’s PA Senate primaries.

Yes Casey is a longtime incumbent, but he matched the total D presidential primary turnout while McCormick received almost 72,000 (8%) fewer votes than the total R presidential primary turnout.

Biggest warning sign for Trump is not Philly or Pittsburgh suburbs

It’s that Haley cracked 20% in Erie, Lancaster, Cumberland, Dauphin (Harrisburg)

These mid-size counties are not types of places Trump can afford to bleed votes

Lancaster especially is a historically red county

Headed into the general election, let's all transition into a more holistic embodiment of Kevin's rule #1 (which was violated by so many this cycle): be normal.

This is a super interesting district because a. Pike is the only Pa county in the nyc media market and b. It tends to be pretty influenced by transplants and also Moonies

LOL loved the subject line on this press release from Dem Rep. Chris DeLuzio Chris Deluzio. I clicked!
