Republicans and their billionaire donors thought they could buy the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

Pennsylvanians made it clear: Their state is not for sale. Congratulations Justice David Wecht, Justice Christine Donohue, and Kevin Dougherty for PA Supreme Court!

Political scientists have had to listen to anecdotal pundits misinform the public for a year now. Tonight is a vindication for political scientists & what we've been saying all this time. Not because of any partisan bias. But because we said pundits don't think systematically about politics.

If Democrats can find an affordability message and platform that speaks to independent voters, they can once again become the clear majority party in this country. @kamalaharris.com ran on that but Biden had done nothing to message on it before her 107 days, making it so difficult for her.

I don't know, ideologically-driven folks on the left. Sure looks like two moderate women did really great in Virginia in New Jersey because they fit the moderate states in which they were running.
