Inside the Messy Battle for the Biggest Swing State of 2024 | WSJ

Both President Biden and former President Trump see Pennsylvania as a must-win state in the 2024 presidential election, but both are grappling with party divisions and sagging voter enthusiasm surrounding their rematch.

WSJ's Shelby Holliday traveled across PA to talk to voters, officials and campaign managers to learn how each candidate could win—or lose—the biggest swing state of the 2024 election.

This is how journalism should be like. Getting both sides opinion and no comment from the journalist. It is balanced journalism.

[mattkayl]

It’s gonna be (in nearly every swing state) the city population voting majority blue, the rural population voting majority red, and the suburbs being the key to winning it all.

3:04 No one has ever looked more out of place.

wow, such passion! I wish I was in a state where my vote mattered

[Mysticbladegod]

The way this country does elections is absolutely idiotic. There shouldn't be "battleground" states and the two parties are owned by the wealthiest individuals. It's a joke.

[Bernard-foqo]

Pennsylvania is Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between.

“Take them to the courts.” They were taken to the courts, every single court declared the claims unfounded and insufficient in evidence.

I live in the Philly suburbs, I hate both candidates so much

[nerad]

If trump flips Georgia and arizona, he would only need Wisconsin or Michigan or Pennsylvania theoretically

Something I will never understand is why Americans vote for politicians who do not run on their policies & roadmaps for the future but on fear mongering. If only the USD was not the reserve currency of the world.

Trump/Vance 2024!! Come on Pennsylvania, go out and VOTE REPUBLICAN

[giff]

I'm a mostly life long Republican, but simply can't vote for the Trump. We are so lost as a party. Being a Republican to me is about smaller government, lower tax rates at most levels and letting local and state governments actually work. When did being conservative mean we had to hate Americans of other colors, sound scared of different sexual orientations and shout so much nonsense about fraud that is doesn't even sound logical??

I am in PA. I voted blue last time, but never again. The border is wide open. The economy is downhill. 2 wars are ongoing. We need a change

[nicriley]

The lady who was proud to say one day of voting is democracy is sad. I don't care what party you are. One day to decide is pitiful.

[stupendouslife]

It is weird how America is focusing on immigration, instead other 2 enormous social problems, growing population of homeless and narcotics addiction.

Our brand is crisis is trump’s philosophy

[MaddogRH]

Where I'm at in PA, voters are very concerned about the southern border. The way it's being viewed, rightly or wrongly, is the border was somewhat secured under Trump but then Biden came along and discontinued the Remain in Mexico policy and the construction of the wall.

“We all are Equal, but some people are more Equal than others”

[joncagan]

When the facts are on your side, you win in court, if you think the facts are on your side and you're losing, it's not a conspiracy. It's something else.

[charlest]

If you have any problem deciding to vote me or trump then you ain't a Swing state

Biden, 2024

Philadelphia to the east, Pittsburg to the west and Pennsyltucky in between
