The Harris campaign believes it has a path to victory in Pennsylvania by capitalizing on Trump’s weakness in the suburbs. They have seen gains in suburban areas, flipped them from red to blue, and increased support among educated suburbanites. The campaign is also targeting former Republican voters, such as Nikki Haley supporters, to further boost their numbers. By focusing on rural voters and expanding their ground game, the campaign aims to cut into Trump’s margins and prevent him from flipping the state red. They have knocked on over 1 million doors in the state and invested in field operations to drive voter turnout.
In response, the Trump campaign has focused on cutting into Democratic voter registration advantages in areas such as Bucks, Luzerne, and Beaver counties. They have highlighted reports of working-class voters in Philadelphia embracing Trump. Additionally, they believe the Harris campaign is losing ground in cities like Philadelphia despite their gains in the suburbs. The Harris campaign is facing challenges in reaching Black voters and is making efforts to increase turnout among this demographic. Former President Obama has campaigned for Harris in Pittsburgh, urging undecided voters to support her based on her record of excellence. Overall, both campaigns are working to secure support in key demographics and regions to win Pennsylvania in a closely contested election.
