This episode of Bulwark Takes features congressional reporter Joe Perdicone discussing Stacy Garrity’s campaign for Pennsylvania governor. They analyze her history as an election denier, her unwavering loyalty to Donald Trump, and her role as a political opportunist rather than a true believer. The hosts contrast her with other extreme candidates like Andy Biggs, arguing that Garrity’s lack of ideological limits makes her particularly dangerous for swing state governance.
