As with Susan Crawford’s SCOWIS election in Wisconsin in April, this election in PA, & the VA elections, tell us at least as much, if not far more, about the 2026/28 national elections than the NYC mayoral election.
NBC projects all three Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices will keep their seats. Republicans had hoped to oust them and undercut Dems' majority on the court.
Obviously, that didn't work. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

President Trump “has openly called for the prosecution of his perceived enemies and forced out his own appointed prosecutor for standing in the way,” Mary McCord and Andrew Weissmann write. “The Supreme Court’s immunity decision enabled this boldness on two fronts.”

Republicans do not plan on giving up power. They've consolidated state power, changed election laws designed so they will never lose, super-gerrymandered, now they are consolidating federal power by giving Republicans in the House more seats by taking away Dem seats www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-z6...
