Tonight let us recognize Speaker Joanna McClinton, who for 42 months held together an ideologically diverse Democratic caucus to maintain a one-vote majority in the PA House. Surely one of the most talented legislative leaders in the country.
Finally she has some breathing room.
A factoid that will blow some minds -
PA-03 results with white-majority wards EXCLUDED:
馃 Chris Rabb - 34,647 - 36.80%
馃 Sharif Street - 33,220 - 35.29%
馃 Ala Stanford - 24,437 - 25.96%
Rabb wins the 60th ward (West Philly) with all precincts in. This is what a big Rabb win looks like.
Here's an example of where Rabb is beating expectations. With 13/14 precincts reporting, Rabb is winning the majority-Black 47th ward, which is within Street's Senate district.
13/21 precincts reporting in the 1st ward and they're giving Rabb 74%. That's what I'm talking about.
Replying to @PAMapper
Rabb has the clearest base of support in progressive neighborhoods. A Rabb win will include gangbusters margins in his home turf of Mt. Airy (22nd ward), East Passyunk (1st & 2nd), and Baltimore Ave. corridor (27th & 46th).
70% of the 50th ward has reported and it's a tight 3-way race with Rabb in the lead. Rabb represents this area but it's not the more progressive part of his district.
