Donald Trump won the Pennsylvania Republican primary with 82.8% of the vote. The Keystone State's primary is closed, meaning only Republicans can vote.
But is this cause for worry? Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016 by 44,000 votes. Biden won the state in 2020 by 80,000. However, former candidate Nikki Haley, who dropped out a month ago, received 16.5% of the vote in this year's primary, or about 156,000 votes. That's a healthy slice of the electorate in a state so evenly divided.
We can assume that a significant portion of Haley's votes are going to be "hold your nose and vote for Trump" voters. The Dispatch's David Drucker writes, "Protest votes in favor of Haley have been a persistent problem for Trump, signaling a portion of the GOP is dissatisfied with him despite his status as the presumptive nominee."
The Washington Post's Aaron Blake compiled a list of states with the "protest votes."
Percentages voting against Trump in closed (i.e. GOP-only) primaries/caucuses:
3/2 Idaho 15%
3/5 Okla. 18%
3/5 Tennessee 19.5%
3/5 Utah 44%
(Haley drops out)
3/19 Florida 19%
3/19 Kansas 24.5%
4/2 Conn. 22%
4/2 N.Y. 18%
4/23 Pennsylvania 16.5%— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) April 24, 2024
Note that most of those states are deep red or deep blue, meaning that the "protest vote" against Trump matters little. Except for Pennsylvania.
“This is a huge red flag for the Trump campaign in a battleground state,” Republicans Against Trump, an anti-Trump political initiative, wrote. “Many Republicans will never vote for Donald Trump.”

“Many Republicans will never vote for Donald Trump.”
This is a bad problem. Maybe you were a Cruz guy or gal in 2016. Maybe you wanted DeSantis or Haley this time around.
But Republicans wanting the perfect instead of the good could doom us all.
These Republicans should look at the alternative and ask themselves if all the moral posturing is worth another four years of the current disaster.
oh I dont know, as much as biden should worry about those who voted against his demented ass last night
those are the republicans who “stand with ukraine” and are glad that Johnson caved and gave the commies everything they wanted
Mebbe, but there is no same-day registration or party-changing in PA.
PA. Michigan. Wisconsin.
Too close to call. Results from those states will take weeks to count.
Trump already won; the only people motivated were Obsessed NeverTrumpers
None- they were temporary re-registered democrats and a smattering of actual RINO bozo voters. Trump dominated both groups.

100,000 less mail in primary votes by dems compared to the 2022 primary. A slight increase in R votes.
The commies are the ones invading Ukraine.
IMF sounds alarm on ballooning US national debt: ‘Something will have to give’
Ukraine won’t be served well when the United States goes bankrupt. Neither will the rest of the world’s economy.
But nobody wants to listen.
I am more concerned that Biden got 927,083 votes, while Trump received 789,239 votes.
Thousands of Trump voters didn’t turn out because he has clinched the nomination.
