United States presidential election in Pennsylvania (1928-2024)

[@josepha4161]

Sheesh. PA swung both ways so many times historically. From the Clinton era up until the Obama era, it must've had Dems thinking PA was a lock to stay blue for good. Trump shook up that possibility of a consistent blue PA future. Purple PA lives on.

[@AFT_05G]

I still believe PA will be the next Ohio and Florida in the next few elections.

[@badwolf9956]

@@AFT_05G PA was R+2 when the nation swung R+6 as a whole, the governor is a democrat and won by 14 points, one of the senators is a democrat, the state house is democratic controlled, and the Supreme Court has a liberal majority. Can you say the same about Ohio or Florida?

[@siddharthsen7035]

@@AFT_05G it is what Ohio used to be, ie, the bellwether. From 2008 to 2024 it has been siding with the winner. It may or may not be what Ohio is now (and now Ohio is Missouri, which used to be the bellwether state till 2004 interestingly lol)

[@rookaloot4736]

@@badwolf9956 until the recent elections, Ohio did have a blue senator (Sherrod Brown)

[@badwolf9956]

@rookaloot4736 yes but the last time sherrod brown won was 2018. Dems won races in 2020 and 2022.

[@bonecanoe86]

It's funny how so few counties went to Kamala, and the ones that did have an obvious reason: - That blue blotch in the west is Alleghany County, home to Pittsburgh - The blue county near the middle is where Penn State is. - The next blue county southeast of that is the location of Harrisburg, the state capital - The one in the northeast is the location of Scranton - That one in the middle-right is Lehigh, home to Allentown - And the cluster of counties in the bottom right is the Philly area. She literally just won the big blue cities and nothing else.

Not really

2016?

[@olivierbufole1291]

Philly had a strong gop machine. Plus the black vote was republican

[@siddharthsen7035]

GOP city vote dwindled steadily post 1970s and has reached its nadir , but has started bottoming out and may increase again, while dems have maxed out in cities and may dwindle in the 2030's

[@Cinnyrolling]

[@tankdogization]

Republicans have an opportunity to make Pennsylvania into another Ohio. The voter registrations don’t lie. It’s only a matter of time at this point.

[@nick56677]

Make it into another Florida. The R's strategy with Florida is amazing. Ohio too of course. PA is really starting to be a lean R state and has a chance to be safe R barring anything drastic. Minnesota and New Jersey could finally turn as well if the trends continue

[@tankdogization]

@ I’m looking at Virginia in particular if republicans are able to lock up more of the 2024 swing states in future cycles.

[@chakraborty1989]

Would it continue to loose electors?

[@tca666]

Its NC who is shifting this time to the left 😮😮

[@nick56677]

@@tca666 that's incorrect. As a lifetime nc resident myself, in 2024 Trump won it by 5 points, the biggest margin for a win here since 2004. It's still a toss up state, but favors the R on the presidential level. Now governor is a whole different story, we always keep D governors more often than not and that goes all the way back to the 1960s.

[@thiagorufino3448]

Trump performed well in Philadelphia's suburbs and flipped Bucks and Monroe counties, which helped him win the state back.

[@bucky755]

The tipping state of 2016 and 2020 was not tipping state of 2024? It was Wisconsin this year.

[@ihaveyourhomeaddressyouloser]

PA got Trump to 267 I believe, so it basically was the tipping state.

[@iDeathMaximuMII]

Pennsylvania hadn't gone Republican since 1988 until the Orange Emperor finally snatched the state away in 2016. In 2020 there was a hiccup, now in 2024, Pennsylvania votes in the Don for a second time :D Thank you everyone from your NY neighbor!

What's the song at 11:34

[@thiagorufino3448]

Before the 1990s, the suburbs of Pittsburgh tended to vote blue while those of Philadelphia trended red. After the 2000s, and especially 2010s, it's the opposite: Philadelphia's suburbs began trending blue, while Pittsburgh's suburbs shifted red.

[@SuppleCube]

That’s because those areas were heavily unionized and blue collar but then Reagan killed unions and union busted to the point that unions have become irrelevant now. And in turn those workers stopped voting democratic

[@SuppleCube]

Those areas used to be heavily unionized and therefore democratic. After Reagan’s union busting, union membership has fallen ever since.

What the fuck happened in 1972 Philadelphia

[@eduzitos2814]

The suburbs in the vast majority of states began to vote much more Democratic starting in the 1992 election. Why did this happen?

[@AFT_05G]

I think after Reagan&Bush era ended Democrats replaced Republicans as the party that appeals to college educated wealthy upper middle class suburbanites.This transition was complete by the time Obama got elected.
