"Chris Rabb is an accomplished, five-term state Senator who has delivered real results for northwest Philadelphia" says the DNC in a statement congratulating him on his primary victory. Welp!
Josh Shapiro’s fealty-frenzied troglodytes are attacking a Jewish democratic candidate for calling Gaza a genocide. So Bernie stepped in. They attacked @chrisrabb for speaking truth to power. It’s enough bullying.
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders just endorsed in three state legislative races ahead of Tuesday’s primary:
- Sierra McNeil, a Working Families Party-backed challenger in HD195
- Mark Pinsley, Lehigh County Controller running for SD16
- Brad Chambers running in HD41
Josh Shapiro has one goal…advance the interests of Josh Shapiro. He ignored that his bestie Mike Vereb was credibly accused of sexual harassment. He was pissed at Erin McClelland for criticizing him, so he allegedly supported the Republican opponent in her race. Josh, 24/7
Axios: Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is quietly trying to derail a left-wing congressional candidate championed by AOC. #PA03
Shapiro and his team have privately told allies that he disapproves of Chris Rabb and has taken steps to block his path, according to three people familiar with the discussions.
Shapiro has privately advised Philadelphia's building trades unions to avoid inadvertently helping Rabb, the lone progressive in the race, by attacking one of his center-left opponents.

Axios: The Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania treasurer at the time, Erin McClelland, had publicly questioned whether Shapiro could be a subordinate to a female president.
Brooks, who's also the president of Pennsylvania's firefighters union, told students at Lehigh University last week that Josh Shapiro had asked his union to back Republican Stacy Garrity over McClelland in the 2024 state treasurer's race.
@AlexThomp@hollyotterbein 🕵🏾♀️Did PA Gov Josh Shapiro take a $15,000 donation from the Hankin Group and ally with PA Firefighters’ Union Bob Brooks against PA State Treasurer Dem candidate Erin McClelland to keep schtum about Epstein Network ties to PA cold case arsons, estate theft, and money laundering?🪃
Erin McClelland on the dust-up being kicked back up:
“The biggest thing this has brought back is how intolerant a significant part of the Democratic Party leadership is for any subversive speech," she said
