Opinion: Harris needs Republican votes to win Pennsylvania. Trump is making it easier

Sharing is caring!

Pennsylvania is the most important state in the presidential race, and right now there is no clear winner between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in the polls.

If Harris wants to win this state, Republicans and independent voters who don’t want Trump to be president again will have to back her up.

Because of this, Harris was here on Wednesday to talk directly to Republicans in the room, both on stage with her and watching through the news.

Trump had been to the state on Monday, and Biden and Biden had been there the day before.

Pennsylvania is seen as the most important of the three “blue wall” states, along with Michigan and Wisconsin.

If you win this, you win everything. Harris needs help from Republicans.

Harris makes an appeal to moderate voters who might be sick of Trump

Biden gathered the local Democratic base in a Philadelphia union hall on Tuesday, calling his vice president the party’s “next generation.” Harris’s campaign stop in this peaceful part of Bucks County, a suburb of Philadelphia, was an open call to moderate voters.

“In a normal election year, it might be strange to see all of you here with me.” “Dare I say it, unusual,” Harris told the Republicans in the room with a laugh before getting serious. “Not this time, though.”

Trump said earlier in the day at a Fox News “town hall” that his political opponents are “the enemy from within” and that the military might deal with them if he wins again. This is clearly against the Constitution.

Harris could not have been better set up for the day by the GOP candidate. It was exactly the kind of crazy talk she came to Bucks County to protest. The crowd booed Trump as she read what he had said.

Harris said, “He thinks that any American who doesn’t support him or do what he wants is an enemy of our country.” “It’s clear that Donald Trump is getting more and more unstable and crazy.” He wants power that can’t be checked.

She vowed to work across the aisle if elected, to appoint a Republican for her Cabinet and to “ establish a council on bipartisan solutions ” to advise her on “the most pressing issues facing our country.”

That is the exact inverse of what Trump offers us – a long season of retribution fueled by his many illogical grievances.

Harris needs Pennsylvania counties that have leaned conservative

If a Democrat wants to win Pennsylvania, they need a lot of Democrats to vote in Philadelphia and the four “collar” counties that surround it.

In 2020, there were a few more Democrats registered to vote in Bucks County than Republicans. But this summer, Republicans gained one percentage point and became ahead. There were campaign signs for both Harris and Trump on the roads that led to Washington Crossing Historic Park, where she spoke.

At Wednesday’s gathering, Republican former U.S. Rep. Jim Greenwood, who served six terms in this area and is against Trump, called him “a malignant narcissist” who is not fit for office.

Greenwood said, referring to Trump’s failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election, “Trump only cares about himself and his ambition.”

Donald Trump lost Bucks County by less than 1% in 2016, but he won Pennsylvania by the same amount.

In 2020, Biden beat Trump by 4.37 points in Bucks County and by just over a point in the whole state.

Biden stops in Philadelphia to call Trump a ‘loser’

Biden was jokingly called Pennsylvania’s third senator during the 36 years he served in the Senate from nearby Delaware. In Philadelphia, he spoke out against Trump in a direct and personal way.

Trump’s business failures, civil court rulings, and criminal convictions, as well as his debate with Harris last month, which Biden said she clearly won, were all things that Biden called “losers.”

He also pointed out that Trump has since refused any further debates. He said Trump was talking about how things were at the southern border of the country.

Trump calls that a hellscape and says that America is a failed country, Biden said. “Trump says we’re losers, but Trump is the only loser I know.”

There are always stories in the news about elections in Philadelphia that are about problems between Democratic candidates and the local party, and people wonder if enough is being done to get people to the polls. Biden hit that pitch right on the head.

The president told the people, “How you go and what you turn out will decide the election.”

There are 7.8 times as many Democrats as Republicans in Philadelphia, but Trump only got 15.37% of the vote there in 2016.

Even though he lost the city as expected in 2020, he got almost 18% more votes that year, or about 24,000 more than he did four years before.

Trump danced his way through weird town hall in Montgomery County

There was only one question that came up at Trump’s town hall meeting in Montgomery County on Monday: what is he doing? Two medical problems in the crowd caused the event to fall apart on stage. He then bopped along on stage for about 40 minutes while telling his staff what songs to play.

In Montgomery County, where Democrats lead Republicans 49% to 34%, that didn’t look like it was meant to help his chances. In 2016, Trump got about 37% of the vote there, and he got about 36% four years ago.

This race is so close that Harris’s chances of winning in Pennsylvania might depend on something she can’t change: how Trump acts. Also, let’s just say that Trump might not be able to control how he acts either.

She wants him to keep reading the crazy part out loud so that people can see who he really is and what he stands for. If he does, Trump could be the most powerful Republican who helps Harris’s quest for the presidency.
