The district around Lancaster had backed President Donald Trump by 15 percentage points in November.

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.

    Yes you people. Fuck off with the faux outrage.

    I’m not outraged, I’m confused. Who is “you people” supposed to be referring to?

    She’s a politician that did a stupid politician thing. It’s so fucking stupid to give a single shit about it.

    And yet, here you are getting mad because people didn’t give enough of a shit about it.

    Clearly it failed. But it’s a really fucking stupid reason to not vote for her. Just completely ignorant of the political reality we were in.

    Says the guy trying to blame the voters in a country that science says is not and has never been a democracy.
