Donald Trump has been projected as the winner of Pennsylvania in the 2024 presidential election, securing 19 crucial Electoral College votes. This victory marks a significant turnaround for Trump, who lost the state to Joe Biden in 2020 but previously won it in 2016. Trump’s win effectively blocks Vice President Kamala Harris from achieving the presidency, despite her campaign’s extensive efforts in the state. The results reflect a shift in voter demographics, with Trump gaining support among Latino voters, while allegations of voter fraud have emerged, which local officials have dismissed as disinformation. Additionally, Trump’s Republican Party has regained control of the Senate, further consolidating their political power.

Trump’s Historic Win in Pennsylvania 

In a closely contested race, Trump’s victory in Pennsylvania is notable as it is only the second time since 1988 that a Republican has won this battleground state. His campaign saw substantial engagement from both Trump and Harris, with Harris delivering a pivotal speech in Philadelphia aimed at rallying support. However, despite these efforts and significant financial investment—over $500 million combined from both campaigns—Harris’s campaign could not overcome Trump’s appeal. Political analysts suggest that her decision not to select popular Governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate may have hindered her chances further. Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance, was seen as a strategic choice to connect with Rust Belt voters, particularly in western Pennsylvania. In his final message to supporters in Pittsburgh, Trump declared, “We have proven our critics wrong,” and promised that his administration would lead America into a “golden age,” emphasizing a vision of economic prosperity and national strength.

Background and Implications 

The road to this election has been tumultuous, with both candidates facing considerable challenges. Trump’s previous loss in Pennsylvania was a key factor in Biden’s victory in 2020, making this win particularly significant for his political future. Exit polls indicated that voters prioritised democracy and economic conditions when making their decisions, alongside issues like abortion and immigration. Trump’s campaign concentrated on increasing voter turnout in Pennsylvania’s rural and industrial regions while also connecting with the state’s expanding Latino community. Notably, Trump raised concerns about alleged “massive cheating” in Philadelphia; however, local officials have dismissed these claims as “disinformation.” Seth Bluestein, a Republican City Commissioner in Philadelphia, stated, “There is absolutely no truth to this allegation,” affirming that voting proceeded securely. Additionally, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro reiterated that Trump’s previous claims regarding election fraud had been thoroughly dismissed after his team failed to overturn results in 2020.
