Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Pennsylvania is arguably the most important swing state in the country. But while gushing endorsements for Harris came from the likes of Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington state, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Pennsylvania party leaders sang a different tune.
Fetterman wasn’t the only unhappy Democrat in Pennsylvania. One longtime Democratic voter, a union Democrat who has never voted Republican, said he felt “Harris wasn’t up for the job. I hope it will be someone else. I don’t like how they pushed Joe out.”Paul Sracic, political science professor at Youngstown State University, said the initial reactions of the Congressional Black Caucus and Bill and Hillary Clinton in supporting Harris show that there was some planning before this happened.
While elected Democrats, including Gov. Josh Shapiro , spent the day sending out full support for Harris, Democrats here in Pennsylvania worry about her appeal in the state, especially in Western Pennsylvania where hydraulic fracking has been an economic game changer — something Harris adamantly opposes.
On the politics of the Keystone State, political science professor Jeff Brauer said Pennsylvania remains essential to a presidential victory for either party.
