Even after taking control of the PA House, Democrats will need GOP support to get a speaker elected. That's because a majority is needed to confirm a Speaker, and at least one Democratic vote won't be available to support
(state) Rep. Joanna McClinton (D., Philadelphia), the party's nominee.
Democrats won a 102-101 state House majority in this month's midterms,
but the posthumous reelection of longtime state Rep. Tony DeLuca (D.,
Allegheny) means his seat will be open, effectively creating a 101-101
split. As a result, Democrats will, at a minimum, need one Republican to secure a majority.
It might even require more, if U.S. Rep.-elect Summer Lee, currently a state House
representative, is unable to cast her vote before taking office in D.C.
