But Wild losing in PA 7 is a surprise, she has been in close races but always seems to prevail with a strong Hispanic vote in the Allentown area. WIth Hispanics supporting Trump, looks like he dragged MacKenzie over the finish line by 5 k votes.
In my district PA-10 it was finally called for Perry by 6k votes. He has some work to do to win next time. His opponent is a long time TV anchor, very well known, who ran on “closing the border” and “a pox on both parties” (fake, she is a diehard lib).

Actually he sabotaged Shapiro for VP. They did not get along when Shapiro was AG and Fetterman was Lt. Gov.
Told Kamala not to pick him because he was too ambitious and would overshadow her.
“PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is concerned about the possibility that Vice President Kamala Harris might choose his state’s governor, Josh Shapiro, as her running mate, and his advisers have privately relayed those worries to Harris’ team, according to three people familiar with the conversations.
Fetterman’s advisers suggested to Harris’ team that the senator believes that Shapiro is excessively focused on his own personal ambitions. His reservations about Shapiro reflect a long-running rivalry between the two ambitious Democrats, who have risen on parallel tracks in a politically crucial state.”

Rumors in NC among GOP grassroots is that Tillis will not run for re-election to the senate but will run for NC governor in 2028. These predate the election this year. We shall see.
Additionally, I believe that President Trump needs to remove from ANY governmental position he can as well as actively campaign to defeat in the primaries in 2026, ANY GOPer who is not loyal to him, worked for Biden or Harris or who didnt actively seek to help in this election.
Also, he needs to expand party funding for those party committees who focused on early voting and elevate the Charlie Kirks and Scott Presleys of the world. There are a number of elections in prior years that we could have won but resources were wasted on the establishment’s favored consultants or those candidates who played ball with McConnell and especially Paul Ryan, both of who publicly supported Trump but worked behind the scenes or withheld resources from candidates who were MAGA.
I do hope that Trump makes room for people who arent MAGA but who did actively help him and especially some with differing views from him. He can rebuild the party and our country by avoiding pandering to leftists, globalists, and big corporations who dont give a crap about our nation.
In my opinion.

Powell turned down the idea of leaving his position and when asked at a press conference Thursday whether he thought he’d be required to leave if the president asked him to, he said “no.”
Firing Powell from his role as chairman is a bit of a legal gray area, according to American think tank Brookings, which noted there is no statute that includes details about whether a president can remove a fed chair and that other presidents have determined they lacked the authority to fire someone from the position.
No president has ever attempted to remove a Federal Reserve chairman from their role before, though, so the authority to do so has not been legally tested.
An unnamed senior Trump adviser told CNN that Trump will likely not try to remove Powell during the rest of his term, which ends in a year and a half.
Federal Reserve experts also do not expect Trump to try firing Powell, according to MarketWatch.

As far as Trump being a RINO, RINO stands for REPUBLICAN in name only. Bitter and others who hold to the idea that Trump is a RINO are stuck in a former self-understanding of the party that the party no longer has. It is like the Democratic party used to stand for working people and family values. That party does not exist. The party of the Bushes, Cheneys, Romneys doesnt exist either accept in the stubborn memories who are clinging to the past.
I was the first Republican in my family. Ancestral hatred of the GOP for what they did to Southern whites after the War for Southern Independence was still a thing. Reagan changed that.
Trump has changed the GOP as well. Adjust or not, that is the GOP future. Trump bringing in working class and global-skeptic Americans will keep the ideological neo-con globalists from getting our nomination. Hybrid MAGA/More Hawkish candidates may have success. But you will never see a Romney, Bush or Cheney-type candidate as the GOP presidential candidate again.
