Democrat James Andrew Malone narrowly won a special election for a Pennsylvania state Senate seat in a stretch of Republican-leaning suburbs and farming communities, scoring an upset in a territory that a Democrat hasn’t represented in the chamber for 136 years. Malone’s victory over Republican Josh Parsons in Tuesday night’s special election might provide a light in the darkness for Democrats struggling to unify around a strategy to counter President Donald Trump and at each others’ throats publicly. A top state Senate Democrat, Sen. Vince Hughes of Philadelphia, said Malone’s victory shows the value of Democrats talking to people about protecting Social Security and health care access amid the chaos and pain that Trump’s administration is sowing. “As much anger that people have, they have anxiety too,” Hughes said. “And last night’s election sends a message that people are going to respond.” The Associated Press called the race Wednesday after receiving information from county officials that there were fewer ballots left to be counted than the margin in the race. Pennsylvania’s Republican Party chairman, Greg Rothman, said he didn’t think the first two months of Trump’s administration hurt the GOP in the race. Prices of gas and eggs are dropping and the federal government hasn’t cut Social Security or Medicare, he said.
