- Shapiro invested $10 million to flip four congressional seats and win a Democratic trifecta in Harrisburg; those races remained unresolved Tuesday evening.
- In the campaign’s final days, Garrity received more than $6 million from the skill-games industry after supporting it during the only debate on October 7.
- An Inquirer/New York Times/Siena poll found one-quarter of Republican voters lacked enough information about Garrity or her platform to form an opinion in the final weeks.
- Over the past year, Shapiro more clearly signaled plans to run in 2028; a poll found Pennsylvania voters divided over whether they wanted him to.
“In politics, you learn very quickly that not everyone follows through on your promises.”— Stacy Garrity said this to the crowd at her election-night watch party after congratulating Josh Shapiro on his reelection.
