The Federalist: PA Dems Keep State House Majority Using Billionaire Funds
Democrats retained a narrow 102-101 majority in the Pennsylvania House, despite a Republican trend in the general election. They spent approximately $4 million to support state Rep. Frank Burns, who narrowly won in a heavily Republican area, leveraging significant out-of-state funding.
The House Democratic Campaign Committee strategically funneled substantial donations to Burns, totaling over $3.6 million, to secure his victory. This reflects a broader Democratic strategy to invest heavily in key swing states like Pennsylvania, aiming to influence legislative control.

Fox News: Law-and-order voters in America’s second largest city finally fire their radical DA
Los Angeles County voters decisively rejected District Attorney George Gascón, who lost to Nathan Hochman by over 20 points. Gascón's progressive policies, viewed as ineffective in addressing crime, led to a significant loss of public confidence, mirroring the recall of former San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin.
Gascón's tenure was marked by controversial reforms, including blocking cash bail for non-violent felonies and ignoring low-level crimes. His approach faced backlash, especially following high-profile crimes linked to his policies. This election signals a shift in voter sentiment towards more traditional law enforcement priorities.
