Republican's resignation shifts power back to Democrats in Pennsylvania House.

Pennsylvania House of Representatives experiences a shift in balance of power, leaning towards the Democrats due to the resignation of Joe Adams, a Republican lawmaker. Adams, who represents Pike and Wayne counties, has cited personal reasons for his resignation, deviating from his previous announcement that he wouldn't run for re-election. As a result, the state House transforms into a 101-100 Democratic majority. This move follows a year-long stalemate during which a Democrat's resignation led to a 101-101 deadlocked vote. The upcoming special election in Bucks County could further solidify the Democrats' position or otherwise return the chamber to a voting impasse until the election for Adams' seat.
