I made this simple map to show the population shifts from 2020 to 2025 in #Pennsylvania. I grouped counties together based on whether they were gaining or losing population.
Basically, eastern PA (besides Philly) has been growing steadily. South Central PA especially stands out.
👀 AUDIO: At a recent tele-town hall, GOP Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania doesn’t forcefully condemn constituent who said Hitler ‘should have finished the job’ of killing all Jews during WWII.
Perry (toward the end): “I just don’t think any of that is helpful at all. You know, we respect everybody’s religion…” ⬇️
The Pennsylvania Republican previously faced backlash over an posting an antisemitic meme, his defense of the “Great Replacement” theory, and for vote against a bipartisan House resolution condemning the QAnon movement.
Janelle Stelson raised $2.1 in the first quarter of 2026 in her race against Scott Perry. For context, Stacy Garrity raided a little over $1 million for her #pagov campaign.
🚨Democrats have gained an excellent pickup target! This was a district that swung to the left in 2024 at the presidential level, and Trump barely won it in the first place. People like Janelle Stelson, Josh Shapiro, and John Fetterman have already shown Democrats can win here.
Last night, Democrats in Pennsylvania flipped:
Bucks County District Attorney (for the first time ever!)
Bucks County Sheriff
Erie County Executive
4 Luzerne County Council seats (to regain control of the Council)
Mayor of Beaver Borough
Judicial seats across the Commonwealth
…. and more.
That’s on TOP of retaining the Supreme Court justices.
It was a good night, folks. Let’s have another one on November 3, 2026.
Behold - the 2020-2024 United States Presidential Election Results, Swings, + Trends in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania + DLC.
Allegheny County largely avoided the ugly rightward shift that many other large counties in the state and country fell victim to. 🧵
“Rep. Rob Bresnahan, a multimillionaire who recently sold control of his family’s company and now represents one of Pennsylvania’s poorest congressional districts, appears to have taken steps to hide one whirling aspect of his wealth: his new personal helicopter.” #PA08
Today I’m announcing my Congressional campaign against Scott Perry. He just voted for the biggest Medicaid cuts in history, to pay for billionaire tax breaks. We deserve better than a career politician who keeps selling us out.
In 2024, according to Split Ticket, Stelson was one of the strongest Democratic candidates in the nation. If the environment in 2026 is anything close to what I expect, Perry is cooked.
Not to mention it seems like Stelson did best in York, where Perry is from.

I do want people to grapple with this: if "whites are very racist" was the driver behind Kamala Harris running behind Biden, as I've seen bandied about in liberal (and donor!) circles, then the white rurals in PA should not have been the places she did best in, relative to 2020.
