Last night, there were primaries throughout the country.
Interestingly, every Republican in the House up for re-election won their primary.
Every last one. Far right groups were unable to get the voters to unseat a single "Establishment" Republican.
In the Democratic primaries, a lot of women won. And the Democratic voters chose the more liberal candidates.
Expect a lot of far left stridency as we lead up to the mid-terms this year.
Due to the Republican gerrymandering being undone by the courts, Pennsylvania's congressional districts are a hot mess. All but a few voters are now voting in different districts than before. 7 of the 18 incumbents have decided not to run for re-election. So fun times in PA.
