DA Larry Krasner has a fundraising advantage among Philly residents. His challenger Patrick Dugan is dominating the suburbs. Among Philly donors, Krasner raised the most money from a ZIP code in the Northwest, while Dugan’s strongest support was in the Northeast.

It's the highest profile race on next week's Philadelphia primary ballot and nearly half the donors to either candidate can't even vote in it. Here's the latest on the dash for cash in Philly's district attorney race, with Sean Collins Walsh and @fallonroth.bsky.social share.inquirer.com/tqccfp

Elon Musk campaigned relentlessly for Trump in Pennsylvania last year. Now the DOGE leader is the face of Democrats’ political pushback. As Elon Musk’s slash-and-burn restructure of the federal government unfolds, the crowds gathering in Pennsylvania — a state he helped Trump win — have rallied against him.

NEW: Elon Musk’s unprecedented work campaigning for Trump 2024 in Pennsylvania set the stage for his rise to DOGE.

Now that’s he at the top (for now), Pa. Republicans rush to defend Musk while Dems see him as the symbol for their resistance.
