Reply to comment by Grumpicake in Mike Rozzi is stepping down as Speaker of the PA House effective immediately by James19991

He did, but in the end it seems like it was basically just a wink and nod, and he never officially changed his registration as far as I know.

Damn. I’m guessing this is already causing a shitstorm with R’s in the general assembly.

Yeah, they were complaining for weeks that he never officially changed his party like he promised. It really feels like at this point the whole thing was a wink and nod to hold off a Republican attempt to elect a speaker of their own until the three Democratic seats were filled.

It’s kind of refreshing. It baffles how unwilling Dems are to play actual politics most of the time. I’m sure it makes them feel all good about themselves, but Dems need RESULTS in Pennsylvania. The 2020 results proves R’s don’t have a stranglehold on state politics.

I agree. I know the Senate is Republican controlled, but hopefully the Democratic state house will show what's possible if Democrats control the Senate too.
