Democrat James Andrew Malone narrowly won a special election for a Pennsylvania state Senate seat in Republican-leaning suburbs and farming communities, scoring an upset for a party roiled by infighting since President Donald Trump’s victory. Malone’s victory over Republican Josh Parsons in Tuesday night’s election might provide a light in the darkness for Democrats who are at each others’ throats publicly and struggling to unify around a strategy to counter Trump. Malone’s victory came in a county that Democrats say they haven’t represented in the chamber in over a century. Malone said in an interview Wednesday that he was helped by Trump’s embrace of chaos and rejection of a methodical, cohesive and by-the-book strategy of accomplishing his agenda in his first two months.
