PA-Sen: McGinty Upsets Sestak, Takes Dem Nomination

Katie_McGintyThe Democratic establishment finally took down Joe Sestak.

Former Chief of Staff to Gov. Wolf Katie McGinty won the Senate Democratic primary according to the Associated Press.

With 99% of precincts in, McGinty has 644,283 votes or 44%.

Sestak is in second with 495,118 (34%) and Braddock Mayor John Fetterman will finish a distant third with 292,380 (20%).

Joe Vodvarka came in dead last with 30,741 total votes or 2%.

For most of the contest, the former Congressman lead but a late surge, likely prompted by President Obama’s endorsement, put McGinty over the top.

McGinty will go on to face Republican freshman Senator Pat Toomey in the November 8th general election.
