Experts Say Major Swing State Is Once Again ‘Pivotal’ To Trump’s Chances Of Retaking White House

Former President Donald Trump’s path to electoral victory against Vice President Kamala Harris is increasingly narrow, but it may be determined by which candidate is able to win Pennsylvania, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Pennsylvania carries the most weight across all seven battleground states with 19 electoral votes and with 12 of the 15 past presidents securing their victories with help from the state. Trump and Harris are now neck and neck in Pennsylvania, and which candidate voters feel will best handle the economy could be the deciding factor for who wins the state, experts told the DCNF. 

“I think whoever wins Pennsylvania wins the presidency,” Jon McHenry, a GOP polling analyst and vice president at North Star Opinion Research, told the DCNF. “Yeah, there are other ways to put all the pieces together. But the math winds up being fairly hard for Trump if he doesn’t pull off Pennsylvania.”
