In Pennsylvania, one of the battleground states of the Midwestern rust belt, the American primary election continued yesterday, where candidates from both parties measured their support before the November election, reports Axios. At the Democrats Joe Biden the incumbent president won a landslide victory with 93 percent, his rival, who is currently participating in his court hearing, Donald Trump however, you cannot say the same about yourself.
The former president was supported by only 83.5 percent of the Republican primaries, while the more moderate Nikki Haley received 16.5 percent of the vote
so that he dropped out of the race in early March and suspended his campaign.
Trump flipped Pennsylvania after Barack Obama’s victories in 2016, but four years earlier, Biden successfully took it back by a narrow margin of 50% to 48.8%. That difference in 2020 was about 80,500 more votes in Biden’s favor, so what could be a warning sign for Trump is that Haley lost 147,000 more votes than she did in 2020 in the current primary. In light of this, it will not be easy for Trump to recapture the state, especially since
according to surveys, the majority of Haley voters may migrate to Biden in the fall.
Based on the summation of public opinion polls so far In Pennsylvania, Biden leads with 46.5 percentbut Trump is struggling with a hair’s breadth, only half a percentage point behind. In the other battleground states, without exception, the flag is for Trump looking at the average of the surveys.
