Daily News | From Philly to Colorado Springs, America voted ‘no’ on extremism Tuesday
of the 2020s that have defied the national mood of high anxiety and resulted in Biden’s 2020 victory and 2022′s coast-to-coast rejection of Trump’s Big Lie.Jacksonville’s Deegan — a former veteran TV news anchor who founded a nonprofit to fight breast cancer yet was labeled “a radical” by GOP rival Daniel Davis — may have best captured the moment when she told her cheering supporters she’d decided early on “we were going to lead with love over fear. We would not go with division.
But one key difference so far in 2023 — at least here in Pennsylvania — is that Republican primary voters are also rejecting some of the most extreme choices. In addition to Gale’s ouster in Montgomery County, statewide GOP voters turned back a surprisingly strong bid for a Supreme Court nomination from ultra-conservative Commonwealth Court Judge Patricia McCullough, aligned with the movement of 2022 gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano.
It remains to be seen whether this was a Keystone State fluke. But there were several other Tuesday takeaways that loom large heading into 2024, yet another national contest in which the fate of U.S. democracy will be on the ballot:Voters in the Delco special election, which allowed the Democrats to cling to their 102-101 edge in the state House, were in no mood to punish Democrats for the sexual misconduct scandal that had forced the previous Rep. Mike Zabel to resign.
was also instructive. Voters ignored bigtime spending on a pro-business slate — all three lost — to nominate the would-be first openly LGBTQ council member in Rue Landau, as well as the first-ever South-Asian-American in Nina Ahmad.. The sisterly affection that ruled in the City of Brotherly Love was a powerful echo of how Biden won the party’s primaries three years ago.
Sometimes the Philly mayor’s race is a predictor of the coming presidential showdown, like when Frank Rizzo’s law-and-order win in 1971a Richard Nixon landslide. Often it isn’t; the city’s left turn in 2015 with Mayor Jim Kenney was immediately followed by Trump, after all.
