Cody Balmer pleaded guilty to attempted murder for firebombing the home of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
Balmer, 38, faces 25 to 50 years in prison under a plea agreement. He told police he harbored "hatred" towards Governor Shapiro.
In April, Balmer threw a Molotov cocktail at Shapiro's official residence during the first night of the Passover holiday.
He would "have beaten him with his hammer" if he had encountered Shapiro during the attack.
Balmer's actions were motivated by his hatred towards the Governor, a prominent Democrat.
