Here’s what The Hill reported:
Former President Trump has won Pennsylvania, securing a coveted battleground state that was increasingly seen as the center of gravity in the presidential election, according to a Decision Desk HQ projection.
Pennsylvania comes with the prize of 19 Electoral College votes, the most of any of the swing states. It’s a major victory for Trump, after he lost the state in 2020 to President Biden.
Trump, like Vice President Harris, traveled to the Keystone State several times in the lead-up to Election Day.
Trump in July held a rally in Butler, Pa., during which a gunman opened fire from a nearby rooftop just a few minutes after he took the stage. The former president’s ear was hit by a bullet, multiple attendees were injured and one was killed.The former president returned to the site of the assassination attempt in October for a major rally with high-profile guests and allies, including Elon Musk.
Trump also made a memorable campaign stop in Bucks County in mid-October to work the drive-thru and fry cooker at a McDonald’s, while donning an apron.
