A ‘blue wave' swept both Pennsylvania and the country. How did it look in Centre County?

A graphic for Centre County Democrats’ Election Night Party featured a blue wave — and few realized just how prescient that would become Tuesday night. Democrats made historic election gains across much of Pennsylvania and the country. They’re now set to control the commonwealth’s “trifecta” — meaning Pennsylvania’s governorship, state House and state Senate — for the first time in 33 years. Nationally, the Dems also took control of both the U.S. House and Senate. By the end of Tuesday night, some even labeled it a “ blue tsunami .” “I think it might’ve even exceeded my expectations,” Gov. Josh Shapiro, who also easily won reelection, told CBS on Wednesday morning . Centre County Dems’ Tuesday night party at Hyatt Place State College proved lively, with an energized crowd clapping along to blue gains announced on CNN. They applauded when Annie Andrews flipped a South Carolina Senate seat to blue for the first time in more than 20 years, and they undoubtedly celebrated when Kansas elected a Democratic U.S. senator for the first time since 1932. But, despite the local celebration, no red seats flipped blue in Centre County. U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-Howard, and state Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, R-Bellefonte,

Bellefonte Rally Celebrates Election Results, Calls for Follow-Through on Campaign Promises

What started as a planned rally to protect election results against potential challenges turned into a celebration Saturday morning, as about 18 local residents gathered outside the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte following Tuesday's election. The gathering was one of more than 10 rallies planned across Pennsylvania, with organizers celebrating the results while calling on elected officials to follow through on promises to working families. Robert Zeigler, an organizer with Central PA United, said the rally was originally planned because of concerns that the election results might be challenged. But after strong voter participation and an election process he said went smoothly, organizers decided to shift the focus. Zeigler credited poll workers, election observers, volunteers and voters for helping make that possible. "Just because a certain political party has won doesn't mean that you can't hold them accountable," Zeigler said. Tuesday's election gave Democrats a projected 26–24 majority in the Pennsylvania Senate . The party also retained and expanded its majority in the state House, while Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro won reelection over Republican Stacy Garrity. Maren Larsn speaks at a rally celebrating 2026 election results on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, in front of the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte.
