‘This Is How It’s Done’: Dems Flip a PA State Senate District Trump Carried by 15 Points
“Republicans everywhere should be afraid,” wrote Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin.
Democrats are cheering the Pennsylvania special election victory of state Senate candidate James Malone, who on Tuesday narrowly beat his Republican opponent and flipped a district that voted for U.S. President Trump over presidential candidate Kamala Harris by more than 15 points last November.
U.S. Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-Penn.) congratulated Malone on winning the race for the state’s 36th Senatorial District on social media on Tuesday, writing that he was proud to stump with Malone in the borough of East Petersburg, where Malone serves as mayor. “This is a huge upset and an historic win for a Democrat in a Trump-won district, and we are leading the way in PA!” he wrote.
U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) also touted the win on social media. “This is how it’s done. Run everywhere. Run down ballot. Focus on local elections ASAP—from school board to councils to state legislatures. We build from there,” she wrote on Tuesday.
