Pennsylvania's incoming Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro, says he is tapping a Republican who stood up to former President Trump after the 2020 election to be the state's top elections official.
Schmidt is Shapiro's first Cabinet pick, after a campaign against Trump-backed state Sen. Doug Mastriano in which election administration took center stage.
"Al Schmidt has a proven track record of defending our democracy, protecting voting rights, and standing up to extremism — even in the face of grave threats — and I am proud to nominate him to be Pennsylvania’s next Secretary of the Commonwealth," Shapiro said in a statement.

That didn't happen, and Republicans are still trying to understand why. The prize of the Senate, however, was denied them even though they needed just one more seat to claim it.
