Perry, Stelson Race Too Close to Call

Incumbent Republican Rep. Scott Perry is in a tight race against Democrat Janelle Stelson for Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District, with unofficial results showing Perry leading by only 1.2 percent as of early Wednesday morning. The race has drawn national attention and significant funding, especially as Stelson, a former Republican, leveraged her local celebrity as a long-time news anchor to close the gap on Perry, who has faced scrutiny over his past actions regarding the 2020 election. Perry managed to secure wins in York and Cumberland counties, but Stelson dominated in Dauphin County, reflecting a divided electorate. With provisional and absentee ballots yet to be counted, the final outcome remains uncertain, highlighting the competitive nature of this election. Perry's prior experience and leadership within the House Freedom Caucus are critical factors in the race, while Stelson's campaign has focused on her status as a newcomer and her opposition to Perry's record. The final results could impact the Republican majority in the U.S. House, where they currently hold a narrow lead.
