Flipping the House and flipping off Trump: Democratic challenger Janelle Stelson defeats 4-term Republican incumbent Scott Perry in Pennsylvania 10th congressional district

 
The fourth of 4 in Pennsylvania.  From a 1.2-point deficit to a 10-point win!  Finally -- major-league Trump sycophant Scott Perry goes down.

Election results:  Ballotpedia, New York Times
Headline:  Pennsylvania Capital-Star, 11/3/2026

Ian Karbal reports:
The race was a rematch. Stelson unsuccessfully challenged Perry in 2024, losing by roughly 5,100 votes, or just over 1% of the vote. But Democrats were hopeful that, in a year where political tailwinds appeared to be on their side, she could overcome that hurdle in this year. 
“Our campaign has never been about a single party,” Stelson told a crowd of supporters in Hummelstown after her race was called. “It’s been about listening, it’s been about decency, it’s been about common sense.” 
Stelson’s win is part of a Democratic wave that flipped the commonwealth’s U.S. House delegation by four seats — from 10-7 in favor of the GOP to a Democratic majority that will be 11-6.
