Pa. Democrats gain ground in Trump counties following election [View all]

In statewide and county and municipal races across Pennsylvania, voters went blue after previously voting for President Donald Trump. Pickups across the state could indicate a rejection of the White House and the Republican Party’s agenda.

“It clearly shows the momentum is on our side, and the voters are giving us a chance because there was a clear rejection of the extremism and chaos of Washington,” Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chair Eugene DePasquale told The Keystone.

He explained that Tuesday’s results were a repudiation of the current administration, and also a repudiation of Pennsylvania’s richest billionaire, Jeffrey Yass.

“ I think it was, clearly. Obviously we have a lot of work to do to fully rebuild trust with the voters. This is one step. The other thing was the rejection of a mega-billionaire trying to buy the court system,” DePasquale said.
