For all the reasons you state Trump drawing such a huge crowd to Johnstown was quite significant.
I was in neighboring Somerset County over the weekend and Trump signs were everywhere. Nary a Biden one in sight.
I was in neighboring Somerset County ... it’s has always been weird politics out there. Somerset - hardcore Republican. Blair County (Altoona) - hardcore Republican. I could never figure out Cambria County. The only thing that ever made sense was Murtha - who would never survive a Democrat primary today if he was just starting his career. The people really haven’t change, their party changed.
