However, two  races have been announced.  The scene at the Bensalem Country Club was tense,  People were waiting to see what would happen. The people there wanted all  of the Republican\u2019s to win.  From about 9:40 PM you could tell the mood shifted.  Would Bensalem have a new mayor? People were looking on their phone for the latest results.<\/p>\n<p>Just before 10:30PM Mayor Joseph DiGirolamo emerged with Treasurer Mike Brill from a back room. Their faces were not smiling.  \u201cJoe and I did alright but we lost council and the school board,\u201d Brill announced to the crowd. You could hear gasps.  While the mayor wanted everyone to win, they did not and he knows he has to be practical.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC_0136-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38280 size-full\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Alex Lloyd Gross File Photo Delaware Valley News.com Phila District Attorney Larry Krasner<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll always do what is right for Bensalem\u201d, he said meanwhile key races showed Jen Schorn losing the race to Joe Khan for District Attorney  and Sheriff Fred Harran behind in his race as well.

That race was called rather quickly, with mail in ballots making it difficult for the republican candidate to win.  Dugan is still a democrat, he just ran on the republican ticket.  Krasner will take his oath again in January 2026. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"November 4, 2025 by Alex Lloyd Gross Most major election races in this area are too close to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25424,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[191,193,192,194],"class_list":["post-25423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bensalem","tag-bensalem","tag-bensalem-headlines","tag-bensalem-news","tag-bensalem-township"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
