The Associated Press has called Pennsylvania’s auditor general race for Republican Timothy DeFoor.
DeFoor, currently Dauphin County’s controller, defeated Democrat Nina Ahmad, who was a deputy mayor for public engagement in Philadelphia. DeFoor will succeed Democrat Eugene DePasquale, who lost his congressional bid in the Harrisburg suburbs this week.

DeFoor is expected to win Bucks County.
DeFoor’s win is part of an emerging trend of down-ballot losses for Democrats in Pennsylvania. Despite tens of millions of dollars poured in legislative races, Republicans are expected to keep — and even grow — their majorities in the state House and Senate.
Still uncalled are the races for attorney general and treasurer. Current AG Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, appears to have a strong lead. — Sarah Anne Hughes of Spotlight PA
