The Importance of Pennsylvania in the Election
Pennsylvania has emerged as a key battleground state for the upcoming election, with both major candidates investing heavily in their campaigns. The stated goal is to win over its diverse demographics, as the state has historically been a swing state where a small margin can determine the outcome.
