GOP, on the way to losing its majority, retains Rep. Bryan Cutler as top leader.
Rep. Bryan Cutler, the once and future leader of the Pennsylvania House Republican caucus, stopped well-short of claiming a majority for his caucus in the next legislative session after internal leadership elections Tuesday.Cutler, current House Speaker and elected to continue as the Republican leader come January, said the facts as they stand are that both parties could be at 101 seats on the opening day of the 2023-24 session on Jan.
“Those are elections that deserve to be held, and we believe that every vote should be counted... I for one believe that we will fight for those open seats,” Cutler said of the Republicans. In an interview with PennLive Tuesday, she noted that she’s worked in public relations and communications for several of the communities that make up the new 32nd, “and it’s a district that’s very close to my heart.”
Things are much more definite in the state Senate, where the Republicans will hold a 28-22 majority in the new session, guaranteeing that the first two years of Democratic Gov.-elect Josh Shapiro’s term will be marked by divided government.
