UPDATE: State Senator Citizen Mike (R-PA) resigned today.Lebanon, Pennsylvania sits in the Lebanon Valley and is the county seat of Lebanon County. It's a red hellhole and part of Pennsylvania Dutch country. In the 2016 primaries, Trump scored more votes (13,490) than Hillary (4,529) and Bernie (4,482) combined. In the general, Lebanon County was landslide country for Trump: 65.9% to 30.3%.

When Pennsylvania state Senator Guy Reschenthaler (R) resigned this year to take a seat in Congress, an open seat was created in a very white district in the far western part of the state, parts of Allegheny (South Hills) and Washington counties, west and south of Pittsburgh. On Tuesday morning when voting began, Republicans held a 26-21 majority in the state Senate.
On Thursday, by a large bipartisan majority, the Senate approved HJ 46, the resolution of disapproval for Trump's phony state of emergency declaration. A dozen Republicans voted with every single Democrat against Trump.
A few days ago, the Cook Report published a piece by Amy Walter about the 2020 prospects of a Blue Wall, basically that "the 'easiest' or least risky electoral path for the Democratic nominee in 2020 is to reconstruct the so-called 'Blue Wall' in the industrial midwest.
