As expected, Democrats swept all 3 special elections held on Tuesday giving them a 102-101 majority in the state house. These elections filled the seats vacated by Summer Lee, who was elected to Congress; Austin Davis, who was elected LtGov; and the late Tony DeLuca who was elected posthumously.

Dems winning the majority in the state House was the most unexpected result from the 2022 election in PA.
