HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Republican Fred Keller, a conservative state lawmaker, won the special election for Congress on Tuesday in a heavily Republican district that sprawls across areas of central and northern Pennsylvania that are a stronghold for President Donald Trump.
Quote:
Keller beat Democrat Marc Friedenberg in the 12th District, where registered Republicans outnumber Democrats by about 100,000.
Quote:
Friedenberg supported ideas that are popular on the Democratic Party’s left wing, including “Medicare for All” — shifting the nation’s health care system to a government-run “single-payer” plan — and the Green New Deal, a sweeping plan that aims to transform the U.S. economy to combat climate change and create thousands of jobs in renewable energy.
*sips tea* and here I thought Trump was becoming less popular in these parts, especially with grandpa Joe getting in the race...
How is a republican winning an election in a "heavily GOP" district news?
Did anyone really believe those republicans would suddenly up and defect to DNC regardless of who was on the ticket.
That is why you are hearing nothing but crickets. It is a non event.
