Washington Examiner senior columnist Salena Zito predicted Donald Trump will win Pennsylvania in November since the working class there “migrated over to the Republican Party.”
Pennsylvania has largely voted for the Democratic presidential candidate in past years, including in 2020, but flipped for Trump during his 2016 bid. The state has 19 electoral votes, which is seen as a crucial part of a White House victory. Zito offered her perspective on One Nation with Brian Kilmeade Saturday.
“At this point, if the election were held today, I would give the edge to President Trump,” Zito said. “Both parties have changed. The coalitions in both parties have changed. And the working class, middle-class voter, which was all along the sort of the center and the heart of the Democratic Party through the New Deal coalition, has migrated over to the Republican Party as they have embraced the ideals and the dignity of work.”
