i mean, look, he's in pennsylvania. this pennsylvania. pennsylvania pennsylvania, right i mean, how much closer can we get? we do this every week, jessica, we can look back a month ago. it was tight then harris up by two, looked at where we are today, i think last week it was like a point now where harris by less than a point in the great commonwealth of pennsylvania. so i think steve might have to get used to going back there and perhaps here a few more interesting stories from donald trump about any athletes he might have seen anywhere know, i think they're all going to be there a lot, put this into historical context for us though when it comes to pennsylvania, because in 16 and 20, those were very, very close races too. >> those were very close races. but the polling actually wasn't that close, right? hillary clinton had a clear lead in pennsylvania soda joe biden. so i decided to go back, look at the polling at the end of the campaign for every single cycle back the last 50 years to see if there was ever a race this close in the poll

pennsylvania!ose eye on the most competitive swing states. >> this is it, we are getting to the end. >> bret: and pennsylvania may be the biggest question of them all. >> this is going to be a tight race until the very end. >> bret: starting in 1992, the majority of voters backed the democratic nominee for president for six straight elections in pennsylvania. >> how's it going? pennsylvania! >> bret: in 2016 the momentum shifted with donald trump winning the state. >> i look very much forward to being your president. >> bret: but in 2020 president joe biden won the state by just a little more than 1 percentage point. >> the people of this nation have spoken. >> number of registered democratic voters in pennsylvania is still higher than the number of republicans. but, the margin has narrowed in recent years. with more than 1 million voters unaffiliated, there could be plenty of votes still up for grabs. >> so you are truly undecided? >> true. 100 percent. >> bret: very few of you guys. >> very few o

professor, what role historically have women played in pennsylvania question mark guest: pennsylvaniaer elected a female governor. we have never had a female senator, so the caller shined a light on a forgotten issue. it is undetermined whether the role gender will play with kamala harris and pennsylvania voters. the past tell is it does matter a little bit with some voters who may feel uncomfortable voting for a woman to be president. at the same time, there are a heck of a lot of women in pennsylvania who are fired up to vote for a woman. i imagine this is probably going to be a wash, but it is a historical fact in pennsylvania that pennsylvania has not been the tip of this fear and electing women to high-profile offices. that is something to keep an eye on. look at the exit polls if harris loses the state. it will be interesting to see rate in a close race, lots of things can make a difference. this is something that could make a difference. i doubt this is going to be decisive, but the caller points to something that has some resonance, especially in pennsylvania's political past.

the pennsylvania. okay, so those seven states that you named are referred to in the book as the battleground states. the way this system works and it wasn't this way by the founding fathers. bear in mind, the founding fathers had, no notion that there were going to be political parties. they referred to them as. they were all the control of the government by factions. and they didn't anticipate that there would be political parties. but political parties started very early in the system. but the founding didn't view it that way. they the role of a can of cheese pro was not known at the end of 2020. it was a name that probably most people never heard of. he's a 62 year old harvard lawyer who specialized in appellate litigation and then fact, he worked on the 2000 and presidential election, which was versus gore. he worked on the legal team representing. who was the democratic candidate, of course. so he had a lot of the election experience. he's was born and raised in wisconsin the son. and what happene

pennsylvania -- make that leaves pennsylvania as the big state.you look at the polls i think the two are separated by one half of one percentage point and pennsylvania polls. those are accurate and in the past sometimes they have not been this race is almost exactly tied in pennsylvania. jon: it seems like a year ago this was a race between donald trump and the octogenarian joe biden. trump made a big issue of biden's age and fitness. now it is a trump versus a much younger kamala harris. she said he is exhausted. here was his retort to that. >> kamala harris said. [inaudible] are you exhausted? she doesn't go to events. i've got 48 days now without arrested. tell me when you see me even take a little bit of arrest. i am not even tired. i'm really exhilarated. jon: really exhilarated he said there he is on stage now and pennsylvania. byron york going to get back to you little later on but were going to listen now to the former president and his or rally. >> actually called him in those days saudi carries a very strong men who carry sod. they did n

pennsylvania, 19 electoral vot votes.d over and over again in his mind, everything comes down to the keystone state. we know he is pouring money, resources and surrogates into the state. how would you put on the screen real clear politics pulling average if we can to show what a dead heat it is in pennsylvania, it doesn't get any closer. when you look at the numbers, do you believe the numbers are think trump is pulling higher? some people still feel embarrassed to admit they are voting for him. >> if you look at past elections, 16 and 20, trump has over performed pulling but not necessarily pennsylvania. the polling was rough last time for trump over performed for michigan and wisconsin so let's say the numbers are roughly correct, it is a nailbiter. i was just in pennsylvania for a couple of days talking to people on the ground and you heard from the former president himself leaning more into male and early voting and republicans are starting to embrace that more than in the past hamstrung themselves and it seems to dis

that's exactly the case in pennsylvania. in their time siena college poll shows a democratic incumbent senator bob casey leading businessman david mccormick 48 -- 44. now it ramping up he sided with former president trump. >> monk divided and put tariffs on china to stop them from cheating. >> tuesday casey and mccormick faced off in their second and final debate. the choose bart over abortion, inflation, energy and the border. cast mccormick as out of touch mccormick meantime slamming fleming caseyas a do-nothing car politician. the left of price gouging it. my opponent won't go he does not think we should do anything about price gouging. in fact excuses big corporations ripping off families. i think we should hold them accountable. >> i'm someone who get things done. senator casey in 18 years in the senate, 30 or selected office does not have it record he can run on. which is why he has devoted himself to attacking me. >> the contest in pennsylvania some of the most expensive senate races in the country. reported raising m

and lehigh valley and elsewhere in pennsylvania connor, what do you make of my thesis? go ahead and pick it apart if you don't agree with it, which is to say he knows he's tapped out. he knows that he has a high floor, a low ceiling, and the play now is not the persuade anybody. it's to try and pull out some couch potatoes who'd before him, but are not inclined to vote it's mostly correct. but the other effect that you see i think is he's just muddied all the waters totally. so that even normal voters have kind of become pessimistic about whoever the next president is and whatever they're going to do. i was talking to a guy that runs a barber shop yet yesterday and he did he voted trump 16 biden, 20 and he's trying to figure out what to do this time and he was telling me he is 60, 40 trump. and it was all premised on the fact that he doesn't think either of them they're going to get anything done. but he's like, look, i know what i'm getting with trump, like i know where inflation was back then. i know what i paid in taxes and what i earned my shop and then i can compar

he also lied about creating jobs in pennsylvania, when he outsourced jobs from pennsylvania to india and china. he should not lie about that. he also lied -- well, we just get past that. you know, this is a candidate who did not vote in pennsylvania for 15 years. while we are here in pennsylvania working for the people, working altogether like we all were, he was somewhere else in connecticut. you know what he was doing when he was in connecticut as a hedge fund ceo? investing in china, not pennsylvania. hear me out on this. he increased investments in china by 108,000% when he was ceo. he invested in the company in china that made 90% of fentanyl. he invested in chinese oil companies and steel companies. he invested in companies making bombers and missiles to help china's military. when he did all of that, he was hurting our country and hurting the people of pennsylvania. that is what he was doing. boo is right. you know what he also bet against? when he was making investments, he bet against american steel companies, not bedding for american steel companies. -- betting for american

vance, we're winning pennsylvania for dave mccormick running for the senate. let's get out there and support him. and for a lot of our great congressional candidates, and i know we have great state candidates running, too, but we're not going to do it unless we get out there and vote. i'm going to make three requests, three requests of every single person in this room. number one, first thing i'd like you to do is take out your phone, take it out right now. take a photo of this event, take a selfie, a photo of me, whatever. post about it on social media or send it to your friends in a text message and tell them why you're voting for donald trump and remind them we have to get out and vote on or before november 5. that brings me to my second point. i'm not a fan, to be honest with you, election season over election day but donald trump has said this very well, it is what it is. and we've got to take advantage of all the methods we can to vote because if we're not doing it, we're giving ground to the other side. vote by absentee if you're not going to be in town

have shot up for pennsylvania families.terrible for anybody who has to take their kids to the emergency room because you'll wait longer than three hours because there are millions of people in the united states of america who don't have the legal right to be here. here's the thing, kamala harris and they are friends in the media, they will say somehow donald trump doesn't support social security and medicare. donald trump is fighting to protect social security and medicare every single day. but i'll tell you what is going to bankrupt social security and medicare, and that's kamala harris' plan to give social security and medicare to illegal aliens who have no right to be here in the first place. so while kamala harris wants to roll out the red carpet forily dell aliens and give them medicare and social security, the message of donald j. trump to people here in this country illegally is simple, pack your bags because in four months you're going back home. [cheers and applause] mr. vance: it's not just that i disagree with ka

joining us now, democratic senator bob casey of pennsylvania.for re-election this year. senator casey, always great to see you. you have been targeting mccormick as not being from pennsylvania. is that resonating with voters? >> it's great to be with you. i think it is resonating, because people have a sense in their lives these campaigns are distant from their daily struggles. the cost of living, and issues that are so close to people's lived experience, whether it's the cost of food or household items, or housing, or childcare. and when they hear about a candidate who is not living in the state i think they have a sense that not only has he not been there, but in this case he was living in a $16 million mansion in connecticut. so it does impact i think how they see the race. but despite all these arguments back and forth, and we have had a vigorous debate in the campaign, this is a very close race. it's probably race it's probably two points, the reason for that is this guy has a small group of billionaires that have funded a super pac set up

pennsylvania. governor shapiro is working hard and john fetterman is saying something astonishing is happening with trump support there. can dave mccormick the republican get by in pennsylvania? >> i think he can, dana. dave mccormick has run a great race there. as is true in some of these other wisconsin and ohio and michigan as you mentioned, people i think are tired of the policies of this administration. they want to see an energy policy that makes america energy dominant and want economic policies when it comes to taxes and regulation that get greater growth in the economy and create the good-paying jobs and operational control of the southern border, which has been an absolute disaster down there. i think that on all those issues economic issues and domestic issues and national security where we see an increasingly dangerous world, people are ready for getting the adults back in the room. ready for president trump and why i think you see his numbers turning in states like pennsylvania and whe

everything is pennsylvania whoever wins pennsylvania wins , the election? do you think? >> i think it will be critically important. the blue wall and the sun belt states are the two areas to watch. really trump's strategy is to try to pierce the blue wall. whether it is taking pennsylvania, michigan or wisconsin. one of strong path to victory. them puts him on a strong path to victory. similarly, though, i think about the sun belt in places like north carolina, georgia, they are equally important. as someone who covered georgia during the midterms, i think that one could go potentially either way and that is one state to watch. between those two regions of the country. dave: if the vice president were in pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin everything else being equal, she would be elected and if he were to win georgia and pennsylvania he would be elected is that the assuming north arithmetic? carolina? pennsylvania is the key. where is the key for her to get the vote out. is it philadelphia suburbs and the key for him is central pennsylvania? >> i grew up in chester cou

, lot of energy on pennsylvania. and i think they're showing up in the right areas i know it's interesting you mentioned that strategy of them going in to a lot of red pennsylvania rural areas, maybe places democrats haven't always gone because for a long time the playback book for democrats and pennsylvania is just run up the score big time in the cities and just don't get clobbered in the places it kind of in the middle of the state more or less. >> do you think that this is actually effective? do you think that she can move the needle enough to make that marginal difference to win i do and she is. >> and again, i'd rather be us than them. i don't think anybody should get freaked out by the fact that the polls are close. of course, they were going to be close the election results last couple of times have been really close. again, a point or less. and so i think what folks need to do is not worry about what those polls show, but just keep working and what i'm seeing on the ground is real enthusiasm for kamala harri

rubenstein: pennsylvania. ms. hunt: so, pennsylvania.ughter] honestly, it's the collar counties. places in pittsburgh that are for kamala harris, they are essential. pennsylvania is a unique state. i remember romney campaigning there in 2012 when they thought they were going to win the election because they had a lot of erroneous data, they spent some of the final days of the campaign in western pennsylvania with no hope of winning there. trump, by contrast, has a real chance of winning there because a lot of the factors that drove his rise to populism and the collapse of the industrial rust belt have really driven politics in the state. if you speak to the people who live there they refer to pence a tuckey, the areas around the politics in the shape of the electorate. the shift in working-class voters. latino voters in reading, pennsylvania. if it moves the way it could, it seems, for donald trump, if they were, the market is so -- i mean any one of those communities could really turn things one way or the other. harris needs, and this

what is he running on in pennsylvania? his message pretty crispin inflation, economic concerns are a deep concern for pennsylvania voters and also talked about the border and problems that happened in communities as a result of an open border. the flow of fentanyl in communities, a burst of crime and impact with jobs. it has been very effective. don't get me wrong. the economy is the single most important issue by a longshot in this state and he has kept on that issue. paul: how is kamala harris trying to neutralize that economic advantage, and has she, has her claim that she no longer would ban fracking, has that sunk in and neutralize that issue? >> no it hasn't and here's why. there is a nuance. the biden/harris administration put a pause on nick - liquid natural gas exports from pennsylvania. if you are truly not against fracking you would have made sure that was lifted or had a robust reason you want biden to lift it now and there has been no mention of that. she spent her closing argument as trying to make donald tru

and they think that no candidate can win pennsylvania if they can't win here. pennsylvania's nickname is the keystone state very appropriate this year. and because it is so important candidates are pouring money into campaigning and advertising. both the harrison from campaigns are reportedly spending $360000000.00 on tv, digital, and radio as a just a pennsylvania. and what do pennsylvania's care most about? well, so many it's fracking, that's a form of oil and gas production that is bad for the environment, but which supports a huge number of jobs around the state. harris famously opposed fracking when she 1st ran for president 4 years ago. but now says that she supports it to win pennsylvania. both candidates will need the support of a coalition of voters from different demographic groups. that's white, black and hispanic voters, as well as people from both prosperous urban centers and suburbs as well as rural areas. they also need college and non college educated motors to rally behind them . all that means that convincing the people of pennsylvania that their plans for the econom

you're in pennsylvania. what are you seeing out there? what are you hearing from voters? >> yeah, i mean, voters on the ground are, i think, anxious, they feel that the stakes are high, they have been inundated for months and months and months. i think there's some fatigue creeping in from seeing ad after ad after ad. i think harris's campaign is hoping that that closing argument about democracy works, but she is running a lot of ads about the economy which remains the biggest issue for voters here. and i do hear voters struggling with those two things. they'll say, i don't like donald trump. i didn't like what january 6th represented, but i like his policies and i'm worried about my grocery bills. so, you know, that's the kind of balance they're trying to strike, and that is what i hear from voters too. >> there has been this hand wringing about kamala harris going too hard on trump's danger to democracy. there is polling that says that's not the most effective thing to voters generally as well. it only really works when it's coming from people who worked with donald tru

that is who he is, but pennsylvania, that is not who we are.now plenty of folks are just exhausted with it all, and know that it is time to stop pointing fingers and to start locking arms. it is time for a new generation of leadership in america. and together with you, we will do this, and i am ready to offer that leadership as the next president of the united states of america. and let me just say, pennsylvania, you know my background. i'm not afraid of tough fights. for decades as a prosecutor in the top law enforcement officer of our biggest state, i have won fights against the big banks that were ripping off homeowners. against for-profit colleges that scammed veterans and students, against predators who abuse women and children, and cartels that traffic in guns, drugs, and human beings. and if you give me the chance to fight on your behalf as president, there is nothing that will stand in my way of working for you. and look, we know who donald trump is, right? this is someone who is not thinking about how to make your life better. this is
