College wrestling champions rallied around President Donald Trump during the 2024-25 NCAA wrestling championships on Saturday.
The president entered the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday evening around 7 p.m. in Philadelphia to loud chants of &#8220;USA! USA! USA!&#8221; The tightly-packed arena erupted in to chants as Trump entered, according to pool reports, and Trump waved his hand and pumped his fist in response.
The president sat in the front row of the event to watch the wrestling matches take place. Photos and videos captured by attendees, including White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, show the wrestling competitors posing for photos with the president.
One of these photos shows Trump pretending to wrestle Nebraska wrestler Caleb Smith, who beams for the photo next to the president. In a separate video, Penn State&#8217;s Carter Starocci shakes hands with the president after winning his 5th NCAA D1 Wrestling Championship.
Leavitt also posted a video of an unnamed wrestler shaking hands with Trump while wearing a &#8220;dark MAGA&#8221; hat, captioning her video: &#8220;Win National Championship. Throw on your dark MAGA hat. Shake hands with your favorite President.&#8221;

The president will fly back to the White House on Saturday evening. He was joined at the event by Travis, Leavitt, former WWE executive turned Education Secretary Linda McMahon, Republican Pennsylvania Sen. Dave McCormick, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Republican Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin, and others.
&#8220;We&#8217;re going to the big fight,&#8221; Trump said of the event on Friday, speaking with reporters at the White House. &#8220;They have the NCAA, world, wrestling for college. And I&#8217;ve always supported the wrestlers.&#8221;
&#8220;So, I want to support them,&#8221; he added. &#8220;These are the great college wrestlers from the various schools. I think Penn State is leading, and Nebraska is in second place right now. And a lot of good things.&#8221;

Multiple people were shot on Friday when an apparent dispute unfolded adjacent to the Philadelphia Eagles&#8217; celebratory parade following their decisive victory at Super Bowl LIX.
The shooting comes just one year after a shooting also disrupted the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kc-shooting-had-no-nexus-to-terrorism-appeared-to-be-dispute-between-several-people-police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kansas City Chiefs&#8217; parade</a>, killing one and injuring more than a dozen.
Steve Keeley, reporter for the local FOX affiliate, shared details he learned from police in a short thread posted to X.

All reports thus far indicate that the shooting was unrelated to the Eagles&#8217; event and only happened in the vicinity by happenstance.
Fox News Digital shared a statement directly from the Philadelphia Police Department concerning the shooting:
<blockquote>Authorities are investigating a double shooting that occurred on the highway near the 2300 block of Ben Franklin Parkway at approximately 2:35 p.m. Two women sustained gunshot wounds outside the parade footprint. The victims have been identified as a 27-year-old Hispanic female, who suffered a gunshot wound to her left leg, and a 20-year-old Asian female, who was shot in the upper left thigh. Both victims were transported by medics to Presbyterian Hospital, where they are currently listed in stable condition
At this time, no crime scene has been located, and no weapon has been recovered. Police have not made any arrests, and the investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.</blockquote>

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/philadelphia">Philadelphia</a> Democratic Mayor Cherelle Parker pleaded to residents ahead of this Sunday’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>, urging fans to tone down their celebration antics if the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Eagles</a> are victorious.
“Please Philadelphia, I implore you, as your mayor, do not climb light poles,” she said at a press conference on Thursday night. 
The request comes a little less than two weeks after the Eagles clinched the NFC Championship, leading to huge celebrations across the city that resulted in an 18-year-old Temple University student dying after falling from a light pole. The police department issued 31 citations for disorderly conduct and failure to disburse, per the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/02/06/us-news/philly-mayor-begs-eagles-fans-to-act-civilized-if-team-wins-super-bowl/">New York Post</a>.
“For your mayor, please, just don’t climb onto anything, OK? That’s our Golden Rule,” Parker added, using a stern tone. “This comes up every time we have an outdoor celebration after our Philly teams win,” she said. “We do not want anything to happen to you, your friends, or your family members.”
Officials did not confirm if they would be greasing the city’s light poles to deter potential climbers ahead of Sunday’s game, which they did two years ago when the Eagles were in the Super Bowl.
The Eagles will take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The Chiefs hope to make Super Bowl history with a “three-peat” win, while the Eagles will attempt to redeem themselves after losing to the Chiefs 38 &#8211; 35 at Super LVII in 2023. 
Mayor Parker made headlines last month after she <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/philadelphia-mayor-misspells-eagles-chant/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">misspelled</a> the word &#8220;Eagles&#8221; while leading a chant at a pep rally. 
She said, &#8220;E-L-G-S-E-S, Eagles!&#8221; instead of &#8220;E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles!” leading to mass mockery online. 
Parker tried to laugh it off later at a press conference, saying, “We don’t promise perfection, I’m so happy I never have, especially after I couldn’t spell Eagles right.” 
Fan gear featuring the team’s name misspelled is already available.

An 11-year-old patient and her 31-year-old mother were among the six people who were killed when their medical jet crashed in a residential area in northeast Philadelphia on Friday night.
Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, the company that owned and operated the Learjet 55 aircraft, identified the victims in the crash as Capt. Alan Alejandro Montoya Perales, Copilot Josue de Jesus Juarez Juarez, Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo, Paramedic Rodrigo Lopez Padilla, patient Lizeth Murillo Ozuna, and the patient&#8217;s mother, Valentina Guzman Murillo, CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/philadelphia-plane-crash-victims-identified-medical-jet-company/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. All of the victims were Mexican citizens.
A person who was in a car when the Learjet 55 plummeted into the ground like a missile was also killed, but authorities have not yet identified that victim.
The 11-year-old patient and her mother were returning to Mexico after receiving treatment for a life-threatening condition at Shriners Children&#8217;s Hospital. The small jet had arrived in Philadelphia on Friday afternoon after departing from Florida earlier in the day. It was then scheduled to make a stop in Springfield, Missouri, before flying to Mexico, according to CBS News.
Officials said that after the medical jet departed from Philadelphia, it made a slight right turn and a slight left turn. It then went on a steep descent before it crashed, resulting in a massive fireball. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the jet crashed less than a minute after taking off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport.
Authorities found the jet&#8217;s black box buried at the &#8220;site of initial impact, at a depth of 8 feet.&#8221; Officials also found the aircraft&#8217;s enhanced ground proximity warning system, which will be sent, along with the black box, to NTSB investigators in Washington, D.C.
Multiple people on the ground were injured after debris flew into buildings and damaged homes in the area. Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker said on Sunday that 22 people were injured, with three people in critical condition. The city&#8217;s managing director, Adam Thiel, said there remains &#8220;a lot of unknowns about who was where on the streets,&#8221; adding that the casualty figures could get higher, according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/philadelphia-plane-crash-medical-transport-8617dab53471190832dd73db149489fa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a>.

As Phillymag <a href="https://www.phillymag.com/news/2024/06/22/philadelphia-population-loss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> last June, between the 1950s and 2000 Philadelphia had a “five-decade-long population slide” that <a href="https://realestate.wharton.upenn.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/375.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">totaled</a> roughly 600,000 people, then gained roughly 86,000 people in the years between 2000 and 2020. But since 2020 the city has lost more than 53,000 residents.
As Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation has noted:
<blockquote>
From 2013 to 2017, Philadelphia <a href="https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/rogue-prosecutors-and-the-rise-of-crime/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">averaged</a> 271 homicides per year. But then something happened. From 2018 through 2023, there was an average of 457 per year. Black people represented 83 percent of those victims. The same drastic jump in crime applied to shooting incidents, which increased from a five-year average of 1,047 per year to 1,588 per year. And aggravated assault while armed with a handgun, went from a five-year average of 2,209 per year to 3,116 per year. And retail thefts, which went from a five-year average of 7,412 per year to 9,084 per year. And auto theft skyrocketed from a five-year average of 5,691 to 8,665 per year.

“In 2023, Philadelphia had a total of 1,315 overdose deaths according to data from the <a href="https://www.pa.gov/agencies/health/healthcare-and-public-health-professionals/pdmp/data.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania Department of Health</a>.

A Philadelphia <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Eagles</a> fan has gone <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/viral-video">viral</a> for directing crude remarks at a female Green Bay Packers fan during an NFC wildcard <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/football">game</a> on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
The man was captured on video calling the female <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nfl">Packers fan</a> an “ugly dumb c**t.” Her fiance, Alexander Basara, initially shared the footage on X, writing in the caption, “What it&#8217;s like going to Philly just trying to root for your team&#8230;Unprovoked, uncalled for. Packers twitter, help me out and find this guy&#8230;. this is not okay.”
“I hate that my fiancé had this happen simply cheering for her team,” he added.
In the video clip, Basara is heard telling the fan to stop calling his fiancée crude names. 
“She’s an ugly, dumb c**t,” the Eagles fan replied. “You gonna do anything? Shut the f*** up and watch the game.”
The woman doesn’t interact with the man or seem to respond much besides making a sarcastic “boo hoo” gesture.

The video went viral on X, with more than 25 million views as of Tuesday morning. Most people in the comments, including Eagles fans, have condemned the behavior. 
“Coming from an Eagles fan, I’m sorry. We’re not all like this &amp; I’m disappointed no one around him stepped in to say anything,” one person replied.
“Lifelong Eagles fan here. And previous season ticket holder. I can tell you that MY husband would have stuck up for YOUR fiance! Yes, as an Eagles fan. Most of us aren’t that guy,” another said.
The man was quickly identified online, and social media users started reporting him to NFL officials and to his place of business, which was a management consulting firm called BCT Partners. The company has a stated aim &#8220;to provide insights about diverse people that lead to equity.”

“As an organization that has always stood for inclusivity, the behavior displayed was completely unacceptable and stands in direct opposition to our company values. … We sincerely apologize to everyone affected by this behavior and remain committed to fostering a culture of respect for all,” the statement said.
NFL reporter Derrick Gunn <a href="https://x.com/RealDGunn/status/1879003944867057816">shared</a> on X that the Eagles fan was banned from attending Eagles games for life due to his conduct. 
He wrote in a post on Monday night, “Here&#8217;s an update &#8230; Big Dom [DiSandro] has identified the guy and woman involved in this incident .. the guy will be banned from future Eagles games .. the eagles will be sending the woman packers gear as an apology .. Eagles once again showing what a class organization they are.”
The Eagles beat the Green Bay Packers 22-10 during Sunday’s showdown. They face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday for the NFC divisional round of the playoffs.

Children&#8217;s Hospital of Philadelphia is one of the top offenders in the United States when it comes to irreversible sex change procedures for children, according to a digital campaign launching Tuesday.
The hospital, known as &#8220;CHOP,&#8221; boasts that it is the first United States hospital devoted exclusively to the care of children. It has programs devoted to helping children explore and attempt to change their gender — and according to the advocacy group Do No Harm, the hospital is &#8220;leading the nation&#8221; in offering &#8220;life-altering sex related interventions for minors.&#8221;
Do No Harm is targeting CHOP with a <a href="https://youtu.be/fzBuwH1630Q?si=uvyU_Cw64f3PCw00">new digital campaign</a> that will make Philadelphia parents aware of the hospital&#8217;s devotion to gender ideology. The campaign also includes a video that discusses how much money CHOP has made from child transgender interventions and urges the hospital itself to &#8220;stop the harm.&#8221;
“Our campaign shines a light on CHOP and Admiral Levine’s collusion that helped shape Pennsylvania into one of the nation’s most prolific promoters of sex change treatments for children,&#8221; Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, the chairman of Do No Harm, told The Daily Wire. &#8220;By embracing experimental and irreversible sex changes for minors, CHOP has violated its primary duty to do no harm and to provide the highest medical care.&#8221;
&#8220;We hope to provide patients and families with the resources they need to learn the truth about CHOP’s politicization of medicine enabled by powerful ideologues like Admiral Levine and former Governor Tom Wolf,&#8221; he added.

The video notes that in 2008, CHOP started a progressive health policy think tank that ultimately became the CHOP Gender Clinic, and in 2015, former Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf appointed a man who identifies as a woman, now Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary Rachel Levine, as the general physician for Pennsylvania.
&#8220;Together, Wolf and Levine engaged activists across the state, empowering CHOP to continue its self-proclaimed gender care for minors, even visiting schools for weekly referrals,&#8221; the video warns. &#8220;The reality? Children were prescribed puberty blockers and underwent sex change surgeries. CHOP&#8217;s actions have since altered hundreds of children&#8217;s and family lives forever.&#8221;
It continues: &#8220;CHOP went so far as to train their staff to hide information about children&#8217;s perceived gender identity and coerce parents into supporting these irreversible sex changes while Levine was successful in securing millions in taxpayer dollars to cover the costs.&#8221;
According to Do No Harm&#8217;s data, CHOP <a href="https://stoptheharmdatabase.com/state/pennsylvania/">has written</a> 768 prescriptions for children &#8220;undergoing sex-related interventions,&#8221; administered hormones and puberty blockers to 117 patients,  and performed sex-change surgeries on five minors, forever altering these children&#8217;s bodies and lives. The hospital has submitted $230,784 in total submitted charges.

CHOP is not the only hospital in Pennsylvania that is focused on these types of interventions for children. Do No Harm&#8217;s database notes that Penn State Children&#8217;s Hospital has had 10 minor sex change surgery patients, and the UPMC Children&#8217;s Hospital of Pittsburgh has had four.
Throughout the state, many more patients are accessing so-called &#8220;gender-affirming care.&#8221; According to Do No Harm, the state has had 814 total sex change patients, and over $5 million in total submitted charges.
CHOP did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

A party in North Philadelphia descended into <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/philadelphia-shooting-jessup-cumberland-oct-19/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chaos</a> earlier this month when a juvenile boy fired off 50 rounds, injuring seven people and leaving one 16-year-old girl in critical condition. At one point in time, stories like this were unthinkable. Then, they were rare. But now, incidents like this are routine in Philadelphia. 
Rather than facing this human suffering head-on, Philadelphia progressives are desperate to spin a different narrative about crime in their city. With an election just around the corner, <a href="https://www.phillymag.com/news/2024/07/29/crime-in-philadelphia-plummeting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headline</a> after <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/crime/gun-violence-crime-rate-philadelphia-2024-20241008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headline</a> after <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/crime/inq2/gun-violence-philadelphia-2024-shootings-20240617.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headline</a> is touting that crime is down. 
District Attorney Larry Krasner earlier this year <a href="https://whyy.org/articles/violent-crime-philadelphia-falls-2024-larry-krasner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">predicted</a> “the largest reduction in violent crime in recorded history in the United States.” And Vice President Kamala Harris has been <a href="https://www.nbclosangeles.com/decision-2024/crime-rate-statistics-trump-harris-biden-fact-check/3540700/?os=vbkn42tqho&amp;ref=app" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adamant</a> that crime rates have declined during her administration. For its part, the Philadelphia police department is <a href="https://www.phillypolice.com/crimestats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> a 40% year-to-date decrease in homicides in 2024 and a 42% reduction in shootings.
As the City’s website readily admits, however, these crime data are “preliminary,” which means they will likely be revised upward as the year continues. And they may even be even edited retroactively, as the FBI <a href="https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2024/10/16/stealth_edit_fbi_quietly_revises_violent_crime_stats_1065396.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently did</a> for national crime statistics to cover up how unsafe America’s streets have become. 
Regardless, is the narrative true that Philadelphia has begun to solve its crime problem?
Unfortunately, it’s not. While the short-term decrease in crime during an election year might seem encouraging, the reality is that it isn’t indicative of real change. Violence in Philadelphia is still at historic highs.
To understand why, some perspective is in store. 
From 2013 to 2017, Philadelphia <a href="https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/rogue-prosecutors-and-the-rise-of-crime/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">averaged</a> 271 homicides per year. But then something happened. From 2018 through 2023, there was an average of 457 per year. Black people represented 83 percent of those victims. The same drastic jump in crime applied to shooting incidents, which increased from a five-year average of 1,047 per year to 1,588 per year. And aggravated assault while armed with a handgun, went from a five-year average of 2,209 per year to 3,116 per year. And retail thefts, which went from a five-year average of 7,412 per year to 9,084 per year. And auto theft skyrocketed from a five-year average of 5,691 to 8,665 per year.
So, what happened in 2018? 
Larry Krasner happened. He was elected as the 26th District Attorney of Philadelphia, thanks in part to $1.7 million in <a href="https://whyy.org/articles/soros-weighed-in-with-even-more-money-in-das-race/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">funding</a> from progressive billionaire George Soros. At the time, Vice President Kamala Harris also vocally <a href="https://x.com/kamalaharris/status/864870584823533568" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supported</a> Krasner, calling his victory “key to criminal justice reforms like rolling back mass incarceration and ending cash bail.”
Unfortunately for the citizens of Philadelphia, Harris was right. Krasner’s policies would reflect the pro-crime agenda of his radical benefactor and lead to a <a href="https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/rogue-prosecutors-and-the-rise-of-crime/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">massive increase</a> in crime which has completely transformed the city. 
On his first day in office, Krasner fired 31 experienced violent crimes prosecutors, who he <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2021-04-20/philly-da-larry-krasner-pbs-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">viewed</a> as “ticks.” Then, he pursued new radical <a href="https://phillyda.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/DAO-New-Policies-2.15.2018.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">policies</a> such as making retail theft of less than $500 worth of goods a petty crime, <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/12/philadelphia-district-attorney-larry-krasner-criminal-justice-reform.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">instructing</a> all his assistant district attorneys to stop seeking bail on low-level charges, and <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/12/philadelphia-district-attorney-larry-krasner-criminal-justice-reform.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lowering</a> charges for first- and second-degree murderers. 
These policies <a href="https://www.phillymag.com/news/2019/11/23/larry-krasner-criminal-justice-reform/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">earned</a> Krasner the affectionate title “Uncle Larry” from Philadelphia’s criminals. And unless Uncle Larry is removed from office, Philadelphia’s improved 2024 crime numbers will prove to be what they are: an election year illusion and an embarrassment when put in their proper historical perspective.
<h3><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/?_gl=1*jtghwp*_gcl_au*ODQ1NjYzNTg2LjE3Mjg5MDk3OTE.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczMDEyMDgwOS40OS4xLjE3MzAxMjA4MzkuMzAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MATT WALSH&#8217;S &#8216;AM I RACIST?&#8217; NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+</a></h3>
It doesn’t have to be this way. The people of Philadelphia should be able to live in a safe city, and not just during presidential election cycles when radical Democrats like Kamala Harris are trying win their vote. 
Thankfully, the solutions are simple, and conservatives are ready to deliver them. So are some moderate Democrats who already work in the city. Mayor Cherelle Parker, who <a href="https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/philly-mayoral-election-2023/cherelle-parker-crime/3568885/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ran</a> directly opposed to Kamala Harris’ progressive orthodoxy on crime and called for the city to hire hundreds more police officers, is a good example. So is Police Chief Kevin Bethel, whom Parker appointed in January. 
Since becoming the city’s top cop, Bethel and his officers have <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/kevin-bethel-philadelphia-crime-rate-kensington/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">implemented</a> a curfew in high-crime areas, cracked down on people driving illegal ATVs and dirt bikes, and removed long-standing encampments. Conservatives and public safety advocates have been advancing all of these are commonsense policies for years.
Bethel attributes some of his success to collaborating with “federal partners” such as “ATF and DEA and FBI and Homeland Security.” But all Bethel’s good police work won’t count for anything if Krasner continues to let criminals off the hook. And the collaboration he counts on could end abruptly if Vice President Harris is elected and implements her “defund the police” agenda. As she <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/kamala-harris-still-aims-to-hold-police-back-violent-crime-federal-control-law-enforcement-f6201bb5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained</a> recently on “The Breakfast Club,” she supports the federal government playing a bigger role in setting local policing rules, restricting certain police tactics, and getting rid of qualified immunity for Philadelphia cops.
To prevent horrific shootings like the one that occurred earlier this month and permanently put a stop to crime in their city, Philadelphians need to see beyond short-term statistics and recent headlines and place the blame where it belongs: with progressive Democrats like Larry Krasner and Kamala Harris trying to take credit for reducing crime rates that their radical policies caused to spike in the first place.

Opinion

With its 19 electoral votes, whoever wins Pennsylvania will have a good chance at winning the presidential election.
The Keystone State is critical for former President Donald Trump, but considered a must-win for Vice President Kamala Harris. Losing would significantly complicate her path to victory.
Both candidates are spending the most time and money in Pennsylvania, holding dozens of events and pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into swaying voters.
Here&#8217;s everything you need to know about Pennsylvania.
Polling
The polls show Trump with a tiny 0.4% sliver of a lead in Pennsylvania, <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/pennsylvania/trump-vs-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the RealClearPolitics polling average.
Just before President Joe Biden suspended his campaign in July, Trump had a four point lead in Pennsylvania, a sizable lead for this state. As soon as Biden dropped out and Harris was informally installed as the Democratic nominee, she spiked in the polls, but she never led Trump by more than one point. Harris topped out in mid-September at 48.5% to Trump&#8217;s 47.5%, according to the RCP average.
At this point in 2020, Biden was leading in Pennsylvania by 4.3 points. He won the state by a single percentage point. In 2016, Hillary Clinton, who narrowly lost the state, was leading by 5 points.
If Harris loses Pennsylvania, she will <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/09/19/trump-three-swing-states-election-win-00179648" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have</a> to win both Michigan and Wisconsin and one swing state in both the south and west to win the White House.
How Pennsylvania Has Voted In The Past
A true swing state, Pennsylvania has flipped between red and blue over the past few presidential elections.
In 2020, Biden won Pennsylvania by approximately 81,000 votes. In 2016, Trump won the state by more than 44,000 votes.
Former President Barack Obama won Pennsylvania by huge margins both times he ran for president — an estimated 620,000 votes in 2008 and 310,000 votes in 2012.
Before Trump flipped Pennsylvania red in 2016, no Republican had won the state since George H.W. Bush in 1988. Ronald Reagan won Pennsylvania in both 1980 and 1984.
What The Candidates Are Saying
Trump has made a strong play for Pennsylvania&#8217;s blue-collar voters, emphasizing energy independence, specifically his support for fracking and coal mining, two major industries in the state.
He has also <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/video/trump-talks-immigration-jobs-and-manufacturing-at-pennsylvania-rally/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promised</a> to prioritize domestic manufacturing, arguing it will create jobs in Pennsylvania&#8217;s steelworking industry, which was deeply affected by the decline of American manufacturing in recent decades.
Meanwhile, Harris has hammered the abortion issue, especially in the more blue areas like the Philadelphia suburbs. Her campaign is trying to mobilize minority voters in urban areas, although Democrats have <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/16/kamala-harris-pennsylvania-campaign-drama-00183844" target="_blank" rel="noopener">complained</a> internally that she may not be doing enough to mobilize that demographic.
What Early Voting Shows
Already, 1.2 million early ballots have been <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/22/politics/early-voting-numbers-what-matters/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cast</a> in Pennsylvania. For context, the state saw nearly 7 million total votes in 2020.
Pennsylvania is the one swing state where Democrats are enjoying an early lead in early voting — about 60% of those who have voted early <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-25/election-early-voting-what-to-know-in-arizona-pennsylvania-north-carolina" target="_blank" rel="noopener">are</a> registered Democrats, although that does not guarantee they voted for Harris.
Pennsylvania does not have widespread early in-person voting, and Trump supporters tend to vote in person. This means Republicans could show up in large numbers on Election Day.
When Can We Expect A Result?
Pennsylvania&#8217;s presidential election results are likely to be delayed several days this election cycle, just as they were in 2020, due to the time it takes to count mail-in ballots.
The delay is caused by Pennsylvania law, which does not <a href="https://6abc.com/post/election-2024-go-inside-philadelphia-warehouse-will-process-mail-ballots/15469813/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allow</a> mail-in ballots to be processed until 7 a.m. on Election Day.
In 2020, Election Day was November 4, but Pennsylvania was not <a href="https://apnews.com/article/ap-called-pennsylvania-joe-biden-why-f7dba7b31bd21ec2819a7ac9d2b028d3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> for Biden by major news outlets until November 7. The call put Biden over 270 electoral votes, making him the president-elect.
The process could end up being faster this time, since Pennsylvania is seeing fewer applications for mail-in or absentee ballots so far. As of last week, there were 1.9 million mail ballot applications compared with 2.7 million total mail ballots cast in 2020, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-25/election-early-voting-what-to-know-in-arizona-pennsylvania-north-carolina" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to state data.
In the 2022 midterms, a flurry of recount demands delayed Pennsylvania certifying the results until December 22.
This year though, the state must certify election results by December 11, about five weeks after Election Day, under a new federal deadline.
Al Schmidt, the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, will likely be in the spotlight as the election gets underway. The secretary oversees the state&#8217;s election process, including certifying the results. Local election boards submit the unofficial returns to the secretary&#8217;s office, which conducts a final review and certifies the official election results.
Governor Josh Shapiro, a Democrat who was widely expected to be Harris&#8217; running mate, will then formally affirm the election results and issue a list of the electors chosen for the Electoral College.
What Counties To Watch
Many of the lawsuits challenging the 2020 election in Pennsylvania targeted votes in Philadelphia County; Allegheny County, which includes the Pittsburgh area; and Montgomery County, the third most populous county in the state.
These three areas will be heavily scrutinized during the 2024 election.
As far as bellwethers, Erie County in the northwest corner of the state and Lackawanna County in the Scranton area will also be <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/elections/articles/15-battleground-counties-in-the-2024-presidential-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">watched</a> closely. Erie frequently flip-flops between red and blue, and Lackawanna is notable because President Joe Biden is from Scranton, and because it has a lot of blue-collar voters, a bloc that has increasingly turned towards Trump.
Voting Issues From 2020 To Now
Pennsylvania&#8217;s 2020 election was fiercely challenged by Republicans on many fronts.
<div dir="auto">
Republicans lost a challenge relating to Pennsylvania allowing mail-in ballots to be received up to three days after Election Day, even if they were not postmarked. The more than 10,000 ballots affected by this challenge would not have changed the election result.
This year, however, mail-in ballots must be <a href="https://www.pa.gov/en/agencies/vote/elections/upcoming-elections.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received</a> by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
The Trump campaign sued after their poll watchers were kicked out by local officials from &#8220;satellite election offices&#8221; in Philadelphia and several other counties, where some early votes were cast. A local judge rejected the suit, ruling that these locations were not official polling places. Philadelphia is <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/philadelphia-satellite-election-office-locations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continuing</a> to use satellite offices this election.
</div>
Republicans also unsuccessfully sued over voters being allowed to correct mistakes on their ballot, as well as over Pennsylvania not requiring a voter&#8217;s signature on their ballot to resemble the signature on the voter’s registration form.
Ballot drop boxes were hugely controversial in Pennsylvania and other swing states. Pennsylvania allowed drop boxes for mail-in ballots due to the pandemic. The Trump campaign sued, arguing that drop boxes increase the risk of voter fraud, but a federal judge <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/10/10/922673818/judge-blocks-trump-campaign-attempt-to-limit-use-of-drop-boxes-in-pennsylvania" target="_blank" rel="noopener">threw</a> out that lawsuit. Some areas of the state are still <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/07/voting-drop-boxes-luzerne-pennsylvania" target="_blank" rel="noopener">using</a> drop boxes this election cycle.
Several broader lawsuits also failed in 2020.
A Republican lawsuit arguing the state&#8217;s expansion to no-excuse absentee ballots was unconstitutional was <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/biden-transition-updates/2020/11/29/939859062/pennsylvania-supreme-court-rejects-republican-suit-to-throw-out-ballots" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dismissed</a>. That case could have seen 2.5 million mail-in ballots out of the state&#8217;s 6.9 million total ballots thrown out.
The state <a href="https://www.pa.gov/en/agencies/vote/voter-support/mail-in-and-absentee-ballot.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continues</a> to have no-excuse mail-in voting today.
Texas challenged Pennsylvania and other swing states&#8217; 2020 election results, but the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2020/12/11/texas-lawsuit-supreme-court-election-results/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">threw</a> out that case.
Election certification was also a target of several challenges from the Trump campaign and other Republicans. Claims about dead people voting in Pennsylvania circulated as well, although there was not much hard evidence of this happening frequently. Pennsylvania <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/politics/pennsylvania/pennsylvania-election-audit-2021-updates-results-20210922.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">completed</a> an audit involving a random sample of more than 45,000 ballots that supported Biden&#8217;s victory.
This year, ballot concerns have already popped up in Pennsylvania.
In Lancaster County west of Philadelphia, a criminal investigation is <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/10/25/nx-s1-5165382/lancaster-county-voter-registration-fraud" target="_blank" rel="noopener">underway</a> after election workers flagged about 2,500 voter registration forms for potential fraud. Two other counties received similar forms, the county&#8217;s district attorney said.
Last week, election officials in Bucks County, also near Philadelphia, <a href="https://6abc.com/post/election-2024-bucks-county-pennsylvania-warns-fake-video-showing-destroyed-ballots/15466111/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> a viral video appearing to show mail-in ballots for Trump being destroyed did not show &#8220;authentic&#8221; ballot materials. The video was reported to the FBI nevertheless.
Earlier this week, the Republican National Committee <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/republicans-supreme-court-pennsylvania-provisional-ballots/">petitioned</a> the Supreme Court to overturn a Pennsylvania court&#8217;s ruling that election officials must count &#8220;provisional ballots&#8221; cast by voters whose mail-in ballots are rejected because they are sent in without a required &#8220;secrecy envelope.&#8221;
Other Races To Watch
Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey (D), who is seeking a fourth term, is running against Republican Dave McCormick, a successful businessman and Army veteran.
McCormick has run a pro-fracking campaign and has also called for border security and reigning in spending. Casey, at one time a rare pro-life Democrat, has emphasized his support for abortion and has argued that corporate price gouging is causing inflation.
There are no statewide ballot measures on the ballot in Pennsylvania this year.

Harris 2024

Trump 2024

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/msnbc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSNBC</a> anchor Alex Wagner was clearly shocked by the brutal responses from black voters in Philadelphia when it came to why they were supporting former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> instead of Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a>.
In the <a href="https://x.com/Kelly4Humanity/status/1848945993263501593">clip</a> that aired on the network, Wagner sat down and talked to the voters in a blue county of the swing state of Pennsylvania who explained why they couldn’t support the Democratic candidate, with answers ranging from her not having enough experience to not being the right personality to be the leader of the free world.
“She’s a woman of color. I’m not putting her down because of that,” one woman said. “I’m not putting her down because she’s a woman … but at the end of the day, I don&#8217;t think that [Kamala] has the personality.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

“I don&#8217;t think that she has what it takes to go up against Putin and go up against these other presidents that are built for this,” she added. “I don&#8217;t want to be scared because my president&#8217;s scared, I want my president to feel secure, and manly, and about it.”
When asked if it was because Harris is a woman that she wasn’t supporting her, another woman said no &#8212; she just doesn&#8217;t &#8220;have the qualification or the education to really run America. Because she don&#8217;t have the experience. She don&#8217;t understand our struggles. And for me to believe you for another four years, you&#8217;re crazy. Like, you&#8217;re crazy. You&#8217;re saying the same thing that you said four years ago.”
A third woman said, “The first time I heard the name Kamala Harris, it was in association to locking up parents for truancy &#8230; I really didn&#8217;t understand how this person claims to be a black woman, but yet she&#8217;s locking up black women and black men and separating families.”

Another voter was asked about Trump’s comments earlier in the campaign about how Harris previously embraced her Indian heritage before she embraced being black.
“Absolutely! She&#8217;s sworn into the Senate, it was the first Indian American &#8230; and that&#8217;s fine, we don&#8217;t care,” one woman said.
Another woman interjected, “We all know that she&#8217;s not black, let&#8217;s understand that. &#8230; But my point of view is, she&#8217;s already been there. She&#8217;s in office right now.”
Later, a group voters explained why they were definitely pulling the lever for Trump.
“For me, it&#8217;s immigration. I myself come from an immigrant family. I&#8217;m Guatemalan,” one <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/10/23/black_republican_women_to_msnbc_i_dont_think_harris_has_what_it_takes_to_go_up_against_putin.html">person</a> said. “And for us, seeing the new immigrants come in, they&#8217;re more violent, it&#8217;s more chaos.”
“And we&#8217;ve been here for longer than them, and it&#8217;s starting to affect us more because stuff is getting stolen,” he added. “They&#8217;re making us look bad as immigrants and we&#8217;ve been here longer than them. And we&#8217;re getting more misrepresentation because of them.”
Another person said they were voting for Trump “unequivocally, period. No one else is going to persuade us. We’re two weeks out, and we won’t sleep until November 6,” <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/black-voters-swing-state-pennsylvania-harris-trump-rcna176872">MSNBC</a> reported.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bruce-springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a> is slated to perform at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris">Kamala Harris</a> rallies in the battleground states of Georgia and Pennsylvania in the coming days as the Democratic candidate attempts to pull ahead in the polls.
The <a href="https://variety.com/2024/music/news/bruce-springsteen-to-appear-at-kamala-harris-rallies-georgia-pennsylvania-1236186317/">performances</a> set for Atlanta on Thursday and Philadelphia next Monday are part of a series of concert events called “When We Vote We Win.” Former President Barack Obama will join the 75-year-old recording artist at both rallies. Harris is only scheduled to make a personal appearance at the Atlanta event.
Additional stops are expected to be announced leading up to Election Day.
Springsteen is a longtime Democrat supporter who campaigned for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and campaigned for President Joe Biden in 2020. &#8220;The Boss&#8221; also performed at the Inauguration Day rally for Biden in January 2021.

The New Jersey native officially endorsed Harris for president in a recorded video message earlier this month. 
“Perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt as politically, spiritually, and emotionally divided as it does at this moment,” Springsteen <a href="https://www.instagram.com/springsteen/reel/DArLPGnIJD3/?hl=en">said</a> in the clip, which was filmed at a diner in Freehold, New Jersey, and shared on multiple social media platforms. 
“It doesn’t have to be this way. &#8230; Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone, regardless of class, religion, race, your political point of view, or sexual identity, and they want to grow the economy in a way that benefits all, not just a few like me on top. That’s the vision of America I’ve been consistently writing about for 55 years.”
The Harris campaign has been using celebrity endorsements to their advantage. Rap artist Eminem introduced former President Barack Obama at a Harris rally in Detroit on Tuesday night. The rapper didn’t perform, but he did give some remarks on the upcoming election, saying, “People shouldn&#8217;t be afraid to express their opinions, and I don&#8217;t think anyone wants an America where people are worried about retribution of what people will do if you make your opinion known.&#8221; 
&#8220;I think Vice President Harris supports a future for this country where these freedoms and many others will be protected and upheld,&#8221; Eminem said.
Obama also repeated some of the lyrics from Eminem’s hit single “Lose Yourself” during the event.
