"Republican Resignation Shifts Power to Democrats in Pennsylvania House, Impact on 2024 Election"
The resignation of Republican lawmaker Rep. Joe Adams has shifted the balance of power in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives back to the Democrats, giving them a 101-100 majority. Adams cited family priorities for his resignation, leaving the state House with a Democratic majority ahead of a special election to fill another vacant position. The upcoming special election in Bucks County could further strengthen the Democrats' hold on the chamber or return it to a deadlock until the election for Adams' seat.
