the other two won the races by 50 and 75 points. for months on this show, we have been covering the chaos that ensued when due to a series of unexpected issues, three seats won by democrats in the november elections were left vacant. pennsylvania republicans took that opportunity to in effect, steal their way to a majority in the state house. clearly ignoring the will of the people by pretending that they had a majority while those seats remained unfilled. but now that those special elections have been held and the winner settled, it seems like a more drama free environment will be coming into effect because democrats will now control the commonwealth s legislature for the first time in a dozen years as we mentioned earlier. and it is coupled with the fact that democrat josh shapiro won the governor s race in the midterms. democrats are now on track to get some big things accomplished. access to abortion will likely be safeguarded. a minimum wage hike is also any work. lgbtq
