Since the Democratic primary is essentially over. If there were a serious Biden-Sanders race still on at this point, then I would be apprehensive to extrapolate anything, but this is great, especially in Pennsylvania.

Republicans likely didn’t really feel the need to vote for Trump in their primary when he’s beating William Weld by 95 points.

as both primaries were essentially over on PA's voting day....Trump is unopposed and Sanders dropped out back in April...

I don't know, i still feel better seeing more Democrats turn out than Repubs, especially in important state like PA..

was the Dems competing for Aud Genl. I thought I heard Phila was behind counting their mailed ballots. If true, I'm hoping Nina Ahmed can overtake Michael Lamb. He leads right now 33-29.

Both the DSA incumbents Summer Lee and Sara Innamorata won and Emily Kinkead outsed incumbent Adam Ravenstahl in HD20 where she'll be unopposed in Nov.
