PA-10: Ex-news anchor Janelle Stelson (D) to take on GOP Rep. Scott Perry in Pennsylvania

Former local news anchor Janelle Stelson has won the Democratic primary to take on Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) this November, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Stelson, once a news anchor for WGAL-TV 8, defeated five other Democratic challengers in the crowded field to take on Perry in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District. She was previously a Republican, according to Pennsylvania Capital-Star, and currently lives outside of the district, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Among those who endorsed Stelson’s bid are the campaign arm of the center-left New Democrat Coalition, EMILY’s List and United Mine Workers of America.

Her most prominent challengers included Mike O’Brien, a retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel. Punchbowl News reported O’Brien received endorsements from Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) and former Rep. Conor Lamb (D-Pa.). He also received the backing of organizations and unions including Teamsters Local 776 in Harrisburg, the largest union office in the state.

Donald Trump Suffers Huge Vote Against Him in Pennsylvania Primary

Updated Apr 24, 2024

Donald Trump suffered a blow in the Pennsylvania primary on Tuesday, as tens of thousands of Republicans refused to vote for him despite being the presumptive GOP nominee.

The former president won the primary race in the key swing state with 83.5 percent of the vote, amounting to more than 786,000 votes.

However, Nikki Haley, who ended her campaign for the White House after Super Tuesday in March, still received 16.5 percent of the vote, equating to more than 155,000 ballots.

Trump has dominated the Republican primary, and won enough delegates to clinch the Republican presidential nomination in March after victories in Georgia, Mississippi and Washington state.

However, there have been signs that Trump is still struggling to garner support from more moderate and independent voters who could be key in the general election against President Joe Biden, especially in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

I hate to say it but I am starting to seriously think the American people are going to reeelect this man. Probably 60-65% chance.

How the actual f*ck is this possible?

I feel physically ill just seeing and listening to Trump. What do people see in this vile, diaper-wearing, moronic, lying, traitorous, fascist psychopath???
