in scranton. and i want to go now to harry enten. let's go beyond the number. so harry are let's talk about the tight rais and pennsylvania you have noticed war ticulate group that stands out in that states, yeah if you look at the great lakes battleground states what stands out about them versus let's say the sun belt battleground states is that white voters make up not just the majority of voters, but the vast majority of voters, 80% north in the state of pennsylvania, the commonwealth of pennsylvania. and if you look among white voters, the trend line that you're seeing there is look, donald trump is still winning amongst them. he won them by 12 percentage points back i can 2020, but in 2024, that margin has been cut in half. it's not just a six point advantage for donald trump in the state of pennsylvania among white voters. and this is a big reason why joe biden is so competitive and pennsylvania, while it's falling behind in other battleground states like arizona and georgia, and pennsylvania, white voters make up the lion's share of the voters. and joe b
