Background

[edit]

Republicans have controlled the Pennsylvania Senate since 1994, although Democrats have not won a majority of seats in the chamber since the 1978. The state has been underdivided government for much of this time, with Democrats often controlling thegovernorship and occasionally theHouse of Representatives. Since Democrats won control of the House in2022, the Senate has become Republicans' primary force of opposition to Democratic policies. This has blocked Democratic governorJosh Shapiro from enacting many of the more liberal parts of his agenda. Shapiro and Democrats plan to invest heavily in winning control of the Senate to attempt to establish agovernment trifecta.[3] Republicans maintained their 28–22 majority in the2024 election.[4]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^The lieutenant governor, also elected in2026, would serve as a tie-breaker should the Senate be split 25-25. Democrats would need either 25 seats to control the Senate should they also win the gubernatorial election or 26 seats if they do not.
