Democratic Challenger Joe Khan Leads Incumbent Jennifer Schorn in Bucks County DA Race
Democrats unseated five key Republican officials and won numerous local races in Bucks County amid 49.6% voter turnout driven by opposition to ICE partnership policies.
- On Tuesday in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Democrats swept countywide races, ousting incumbent Sheriff Fred Harran and District Attorney Jennifer Schorn and winning every row office.
- Harran's controversial ICE ties and national politics fueled Bucks County voters' anger, as Fred Harran's partnership with ICE's 287 program and waning support for Trump drove Democratic gains.
- Official counts Wednesday show Joe Khan led Jennifer Schorn with 56% to 44% at 51% precincts reporting, while Danny Leo Ceisler led Fred Harran by 10%, totaling more than 25,000 votes.
- The results signal the swing county souring on President Trump last year, alarming the Republican Party as next year Republican Treasurer Stacey Garrity and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick prepare for reelection.
- Ceisler pledged to end the sheriff's ICE partnership and prioritize domestic violence, saying Harran promised to assist with a smooth transition to local law enforcement and county administration.
