In this series, will look at the demographics, politics, and key policies that have made Pennsylvania the must-watch state of the year.

President Joe Biden arrives at Zummo’s Cafe, Wednesday morning, April 17, 2024, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. “I’ll say our community has definitely seen the investment that Joe Biden has made and through the American Rescue Plan,” said Andrew Cutillo, a deputy solicitor for the city of Scranton, referring to Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus plan passed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We’re very proud that he’s from Scranton,” she added. “I would say he makes it easy for us. … He put together the policies and the programs that show that he’s a kid from Scranton.” “Pennsylvania is feeling the economy,” said Eric Filer, a resident of the neighboring Lancaster County in Pennsylvania. “Grocery prices are up twice as much from when Trump was originally elected to office.

Pennsylvania has experienced major population losses in several Biden-won districts, including Democratic strongholds in cities such as Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Overall, counties that voted for Trump in 2020 increased by about 4,500 people over the last four years, while those in the counties that backed Biden declined by more than 45,000,Former President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign event in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, Saturday, April 13, 2024.
