Democrats on Tuesday were reelected to governing bodies in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties, and voters helped candidate Dan McCaffery win a Supreme Court seat.

Bucks County Democratic Commissioners Bob Harvie and Diane Marseglia listen as Judge Dan McCaffery stands nearby during a rally outside of the Middletown Township Police Department and Administrative Offices in Langhorne, Pa. on Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023.Democrats’ resounding wins Tuesday in local elections in the Philadelphia suburbs showed their recent electoral success there wasn’t a fluke.

“We had a great group of candidates who worked really hard,” said Patricia Poprik, chair of the Bucks County Republican Committee. “Unfortunately, they got caught up in a national environment that was not favorable for Republicans.” “We believed that ‘22 was a reaction to the Republican culture war across the country. We saw no reason why that was going to change in ‘23,” Atit said. “Nothing fundamentally has changed about the country in a year.”Democrats also benefited from a strong showing at the top of the ticket by McCaffery, who put abortion rights at the center of the Supreme Court race.

“Having known her, the messaging defined her in a way that was unrecognizable to me,” Nascimento said. But, he added: “I think we’ve got to talk about in a different way, in a way that’s more compassionate and more inclusive.”
