A Major Red Wave Is Coming to Pennsylvania
Townhall.com ^ | 5 October A,.D. 2024 | Sarah Arnold

A significant red wave is looking to hit the historically blue state of Pennsylvania as more and more voters shift to identify as Republican.

Less than a month before the 2024 election, Democrats are losing ground in swing states needed to secure the White House win. Following President Joe Biden’s exit from the race, Democrats have relied heavily on enthusiasm to take them to victory at the polls. However, that “enthusiasm” has died down significantly for them.

Considered to be a must-win state for Harris, polls show the odds of her securing enough votes are diminishing. In 2020, Biden won the state by less than 81,000 votes, and since then, the Democratic Party has lost 295,182 registered voters. This means Vice President Kamala Harris has to exceed significantly in that state compared to Biden.

“Given how close 2020 was, she can’t have any bad news — neither side can — we know, especially in Pennsylvania, which I think will be the state that decides it,” Paul Sracic, a political scientist at Youngstown State University, said.

Although the Democratic Party has 338,000 more registered voters than the Republican Party, the left has lost nearly 5,000 voters since the primaries in April.

Meanwhile, Bucks and Luzerne County have slowly turned red.

Before the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump in July, Democrats had the advantage in Bucks County. However, following the horrific attempt on Trump’s life, Republicans slowly took the lead. Meanwhile, in Luzerne County, an almost 2,000-voter lead on July 1 flipped last week to an 83-voter lead for the GOP.

Politico recently pointed out that “Harris’ Pennsylvania problem” lies in her pro-abortion, anti-Catholic stance. Pollster Christopher Borick said Biden had enough in common with voters in the state's rural areas but added, “That’s not going to be the same equation with Kamala Harris.”

A Franklin and Marshall College poll states that Trump leads Harris 50 to 43 percent in northeastern Pennsylvania. A Muhlenberg College/Morning Call poll found that Trump maintains 97 percent of his 2020 voters and 6 percent of Biden's voters. Meanwhile, Harris has secured 92 percent of Biden’s 2020 supporters, with two percent of Trump voters since the last election cycle.

Only God can deliver it. Too many spiritual forces against even the will of the people.

Enthusiasm is useful (as applied to idiots), but reality often wins. Enthusiasm dies quickly these days in the aisles of a grocery store.

Polls aside - what had been done by the PA GOP, National GOP & Trump campaign - to stop the steal in PA? The success or failure to stop the steal in PA will decide who wins IMHO.

That total nutcase James Carville got it right when he said “in Pennsylvania , you got Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Alabama…” He is spot on. We have a little place in NEPA and the Trump Signs are all over and outnumber the Harris/Fwippy Hands signs 100 to 1. Of course we’re in the Alabama part of the State.
Something told me to drive on a road I don’t normally take (because I got my car washed and didn’t want to drive the dirt road) and walking was the Head Cheerleader from my HS! (We had reconnected at reunions..) well, she and I both found ourselves political allies. She can’t believe that anyone would vote for the Demoncrats. It was an act of God that we affirmed what we both believe.

Thank you, Scott Presler!! Even if we lost PA, Scott and his troops worked their asses off for about three months there.

I just downloaded the voter database for Delco going to check the updates for the 2020 election (yes still fraud) It is significant in the county that there are about 5000 college students that register all dem. Altho i did see that one might have changed to republican. Dems out register republicans by about 50K or 28%

“...the Democratic Party has 338,000 more registered voters than the Republican Party...”

In 2012, the Rats had a 1.2 million voter registration advantage. So they have lost nearly 900,000 registrants in 12 years. How many of those were phantom voters?

Western Pennsylvania is still heavily demoncrat but the problem is in Filthadelphia. It is filled with pygmy cannibals who control all the election precincts. Those jungle savages think NOTHING about breaking election laws and have been committing fraud for decades. Nothing is EVER done about it which is why I wish a hurricane would wipe out the city. /spit

Bucks and Luzerne???

Luzerne County voted for Trump by big margins both times. Bucks county has been Republican territory for a long time but of the RINO variety. Trump won there in 2016 and increased his vote in 2020 but lost because of a massive vote for Biden ( yeah right).

They need to stop using 2020 as an example. That election was nothing but fraud.

I agree! I sometimes wonder if the only reason God might allow Trump to win is to help Israel.
