Dems sweep Pennsylvania Supreme Court and big Philly races

Driving the news: Supreme Court justices Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty and David Wecht — who ran as Democrats when they were first elected in 2015 — won new 10-year terms, keeping the court's 5-2 Democratic majority.

• Donohue will have to retire in 2027 due to age limits.

The intrigue: The typically low-profile races drew millions of dollars in spending from national and state groups this year.

Meanwhile, some other big races were on Tuesday's ballot.

🔵 Philadelphia's District Attorney Larry Krasner has won reelection for a historic third term, per AP. The Democrat fended off a second challenge from Republican nominee and former judge Pat Dugan.

🔵 Philadelphia City Controller Christy Brady (D) will serve another four-year term after defeating Republican Ari Patrinos, the AP reports.

🔵 In New Jersey's gubernatorial race, U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D) defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli, per the AP.
