It's a nice rural, cheaper area.

And it started to move back to the right.

Republicans are very focused on voter registration and have been just very successful in getting Republicans registered in Pennsylvania and across the country.

And this happened all over Pennsylvania.

So I'm paying attention because Josh Shapiro is in the mix for 2028.

Shapiro was very successful.

And the new party chair was very successful in just maximizing democratic performance, not just statewide.

You can turn out Allegheny in Philadelphia, et cetera.

But yeah, flipping Bucks County, they kept the county council, Luzerne, which is one of the if you remember Hazleton and the mayor of Hazleton going to Congress and the popularity of his anti-immigrant measures there.

There was a reversal there.

Democrats picked that up.
