Shapiro Clinches Second Term as Governor

Josh Shapiro won a second term as Pennsylvania governor Tuesday, taking 85.4% to Republican Stacy Garrity's 13.9%, per the Washington Examiner. Garrity trailed and got outraised, with Shapiro bringing in $11.5 million more over the summer, PhillyVoice reports. Back home, the fellow with the bigger checkbook also gets the bigger yard sign, and nobody needs a poll for that one. NBC says voters are mixed on a 2028 presidential bid, the most honest sentence I've read about Pennsylvania politics. The two split on taxes, and Garrity wants a moratorium on data centers while in Harrisburg the answer to most questions is a bigger budget. Any rancher knows you don't let somebody build on your land until you know what's coming with it.
