  • Pennsylvania has 19 electoral votes. Like most states, Pennsylvania awards all of them to the winner of the popular vote. Trump won 3.5 million votes to Democrat Kamala Harris' 3.4 million, giving him all of Pennsylvania's electoral votes. In total, Trump won 312 electoral votes to Harris' 226.

The article from WESA discusses the implications of Donald Trump's potential influence on Pennsylvania's electoral college votes in the 2024 presidential election. It highlights how Trump's previous claims of election fraud in 2020 have led to increased scrutiny and changes in election laws and procedures in Pennsylvania. Despite these changes, there remains a significant divide among voters, with Trump's base still believing in the narrative of a stolen election. The piece also touches on the efforts by Democrats to secure their electoral advantage in the state through voter mobilization and legal challenges to ensure fair voting practices. Additionally, it notes the ongoing legal battles and the role of key political figures in shaping the electoral landscape, emphasizing the critical nature of Pennsylvania as a swing state in determining the outcome of the presidential race.
