From the state that brought you Joe Biden and John Fetterman, comes the panic inside the Pennsylvania Democrat Party that the communist party is a disaster. Oh yea, this state also voted for a dead person to be in the state senate last year too.
Pennsylvania is critically important for Democrats. In 2020, the commonwealth helped propel Joe Biden to the White House. And in 2022, now-Sen. John Fetterman (D) won a hotly contested Senate race, giving Democrats control of the Senate.
To win in 2024, Democrats will need to win Pennsylvania again. But the state party currently finds itself in a state of total chaos, according to a new report.
Politico reported on Friday the Pennsylvania Democratic Party is “reeling from financial problems and a lack of trust across the party.” Those financial problems include layoffs, and the trust issues are centered on whether party chairman Sharif Street, a member of the state Senate, is the right man for the job.
Here is what sources told Politico about the state of the party:
A former party staffer: “It’s a f***ing disaster.”
A party committee member: “It’s amateur hour.”
A top state Democratic elected official: “Pennsylvania is the single biggest battleground state in the country in the presidential election, and we have a total incompetent, lazy guy who has no clue what he’s doing running the state party.”
Democratic consultant Mike Mikus: “It’s concerning that the state party is laying people off as we’re heading into a really important Supreme Court race, which then leads into the presidential year. They’re going to have to figure out a path forward to build their own fundraising operation, and it sounds like there’s a lot of building to be done right now.”
