The Swing State Dynamics of Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is a critical swing state in the upcoming presidential election, holding the most electoral college votes at 19. Historically, the state has proven to be a bellwether; about 90% of the time, the candidate who wins Pennsylvania goes on to win the presidency. The political landscape shows a shift with highly educated voters leaning Democratic, while more working-class white people favor Republicans, resulting in a competitive battleground. Campaigns have heavily invested in advertisements to sway voters, appealing to their interests in key issues such as immigration, reproductive rights, and the economy.
