YORK, Pennsylvania — If Vice President Kamala Harris is to have any shot at beating former President Donald Trump this November, she needs to make inroads with the forgotten “Pennsyltucky” voter.
Beyond the liberal enclaves of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Harris is making a play for conservative voters in the rural Appalachian region that runs from Pennsylvania to Kentucky.
Harris’s campaign has underscored its margins strategy, aiming to not only maximize the number of votes the vice president receives in Democratic strongholds but also attempt to undermine Trump’s support in more Republican areas.
“There may not be many of these voters, but in a close race, they could matter,” Lancaster-based pollster Berwood Yost, director of Franklin & Marshall College’s Center for Opinion Research, said. “It is also true that there are still a number of voters who identify as traditional Republicans who are still making up their minds, so that strategy seems worth pursuing.”
