In the clearest case of buyers remorse to date. Penn state senate seat went from +15 pub to a dem win. fingers crossed at least two of the three house seats follow the pattern Democrat James Malone upsets Josh Parsons, flipping Pennsylvania Senate seat Democrat James Malone has won an open Pennsylvania state Senate seat in a major upset in a district that comfortably voted for President Trump in November, according to a Decision Desk HQ projection. Malone, the mayor of East Petersburg, narrowly defeated Republican Lancaster County Commissioner Josh Parsons to represent Senate District 36 for the remainder of former state Sen. Ryan Aument’s (R) term. Aument resigned from his office in December to become the state director for Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.), who took office in January. Parsons was considered likely to win in the conservative-leaning district, which Trump carried in November with 57 percent of the vote, and McCormick won with 56 percent. Aument had even been unopposed in his last election in 2022. But Malone was able to overcome the odds, and the Democratic Party continued its strong performance in under-the-radar elections since Trump took office. Democrats notched another major upset in a strongly conservative Iowa state Senate district in January, also holding the Westchester County executive seat in New York, among other more low-key successes.
Huge news. Not the first time this has happened, either, as Mike Zimmer flipped a +21 Trump district in Iowa of all places back at the end of January. Trump has been in office two months and people are already tired of his crap. The midterms are going to be a bloodbath the likes of which we have never seen in favor of the Democrats and I’m all for it. https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2025/01/29/democrat-mike-zimmer-wins-iowa-senate-special-election/
I didn’t see where you mentioned the Iowa seat flipping until just now. Lol. Either way, huge news and strong early trends towards a strong shift to the left after just two months. That’s gotta be a record considering Trump is suppose to still be in his honeymoon phase. Just wait until the economy tanks.
One would hope so, but the lies, nastiness, and chaos are hardly new, and yet some polls even have him with a net positive rating. Trump Approval Polls: Here’s Where He Stands After 2 Months
