In April I laid out what I saw as Democrats’ best path to winning 102 seats and a majority in the PA House. It looked a little different than I thought it would, but they did it. A thread:
First I identified 8 Redistricting Gains: seats that would flip primarily due to the new map. Democrats won all 8, with the closest being Tara Probst’s 12-point win in the Stroudsburg-based 189th.

The Fall Line is an ancient geological feature. Lined by a string of waterfalls, it divides the hills of the Piedmont region from the Atlantic coastal plain.

Now, the line is a near-perfect boundary between left-trending & right-trending areas in Metro Philly.

Why? A thread: The conventional wisdom about 2020 is that Biden lost ground in Philadelphia proper and made gains in the suburbs.

That’s true, but incomplete. For instance, swathes of Bucks and Delaware Counties swung right, while Northwest Philly neighborhoods like Roxborough got bluer.

A PA House Explainer: Democrats’ (unlikely) road to a Harrisburg majority:

8⃣➖4⃣➕8⃣ 🟰 1⃣2⃣
