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,

Pa. Department of Health confirms sixth measles-associated death

Harrisburg, Pa. — An unvaccinated Jefferson County resident has died after testing positive for measles, the Pennsylvania Department of Health announced today. It is the state’s sixth confirmed measles-associated death this year. As of Nov. 4, Pennsylvania has recorded 1,467 confirmed measles cases across 45 counties, with 283 hospitalizations. Of those cases, fewer than 1% (five people) were vaccinated. The deaths involve two residents of Jefferson County, three of Lancaster County, and one of Mifflin County. The department is not releasing further identifying details to protect the family’s privacy. It also noted that a reported death of a Franklin County resident in October does not yet meet the criteria for a confirmed measles-associated death after investigation. Health officials continue to urge vaccination. The MMR vaccine provides about 97 percent lifetime protection after two doses. Since the outbreak began in late April, state health center staff have administered more than 6,800 MMR doses at 241 pop-up clinics, and providers statewide gave more than 56,000 doses in September and over 61,000 in October, climbing well above the typical monthly average of about 25,000. The department is also recommending an early dose for infants 6 to 11 months of age in counties with
