Joining Mayor Peduto was County Executive Rich Fitzgerald, saying that Senator Harris did a "great job."
Great job Sen. @KamalaHarris. Tough, smart, compassionate. @JoeBiden made the right call in his 1st big decision.
She shares our western PA values. She will help Biden fight for workers, good jobs, affordable health care, a clean environment, & all people who've been left behind

Meanwhile, on the other side of the aisle, Congressman Mike Kelly returned to what is one of the hottest contested issues in Pennsylvania: fracking.
Fracking has helped make western Pennsylvania part of the Great American Comeback! The Biden/Harris Green New Deal will eliminate thousands of energy jobs in our region. Say no to Joe! https://t.co/OyabUoeeQU

Republican congressional candidate Sean Parnell felt good enough about Vice President Pence's performance that he declared victory.
No doubt about it: @VP Pence victory. @KamalaHarris didn't answer a single question all night long.
