Democrats claim to hold power in the narrowly divided Pennsylvania House of Representatives, but a legislative agency in the state has given an opinion to the contrary.

In a legal opinion obtained by The Epoch Times, the nonpartisan Pennsylvania Legislative Reference Bureau opines that “While the Democratic Party won a total of 102 elections to the House of Representatives at the 2022 general election, the Democratic Caucus is able to seat only 101 members due to the death of a member-elect, falling short of the 102 members necessary for a majority.”
