for years. Prior to the fair redistricting we got in 2020 that allowed Dems to take control of the state house, the only thing protecting us from being subjected to the same kind of culture wars nonsense going on in Ohio and other red states were our Dem governors, Wolf and now Shapiro. We'll keep them thank you.

Let me also point out that a candidate who was born and raised in Pennsylvania before his family moved out of state and his wife who was also born and raised in Pennsylvania recently were unceremoniously dumped by the Democratic party leadership. The party can look elsewhere for it's unicorn VP.
