The blue tsunami raises tides for PA Democrats | The Week in Philly

Democrats made sweeping wins across the country in this week’s midterm elections. Not only have they gained control of the U.S. House and Senate, but for the first time since the ‘90s, Democrats have control of all three branches of the Pennsylvania Legislature, with the governor race being called for Shapiro within minutes of polls closing. KYW’s Suburban Bureau Chief Jim Melwert breaks down just how the blue wave rolled through the Commonwealth and what actions state Democrats are likely to take with full control. We also talk with City Hall Bureau Chief Pat Loeb about how the results could impact Philadelphia, and we hear about a documentary honoring local veterans and an exhibit highlighting Black super heroes. 00:00 Rundown 02:00 A blue trifecta in Harrisburg 08:01 What PA Democratic control could mean for Philly 12:31 Vision Zero makes progress as traffic fatalities drop 19:02 “9,000 Miles to Delco” documentary features Delaware County Vietnam vets 23:57 Black comic book super heroes through a Philadelphian lens 29:32 The sounds of election night in the KYW Newsroom Listen to The Week in Philly, hosted by KYW Newsradio’s Matt Leon, every Saturday at 5am, 3pm, and 9pm, and Sunday at 3pm and 9pm.
