Pennsylvania may lean Democrat, but that doesn’t mean Biden will win the state

Bidenomics remains abstract against the cold hard reality of higher prices and higher taxes

My home city of Philadelphia has a population of about 1.6 million people, of which about 1 million are registered voters. According to the most recent numbers from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, approximately 75% of voters are registered Democrats and 11% are Republicans. Our mayor, city council and district attorney and most other important political leaders are Democrats. Joe Biden would win by a landslide if the 2024 presidential election were held only in Philadelphia. Of course, it's not.

Pennsylvania is a big state with a critical 20 electoral votes. In many ways it is a good proxy for how the US as a whole will vote and - as someone who works with businesses across the state - fast-approaching 2024 will be all about the economy.
