US elections 2024: Voting is going to take place today for the 47th presidential election in America. In America, voting will start in the evening (November 5) according to Indian time. Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are face to face in these elections. Both these candidates have tried their best to woo voters in Pennsylvania, America. Pennsylvania is said to be the key to the White House for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. The state played a key role in Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election. There are 19 electoral college votes in this state.
No candidate has entered the White House without winning Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has been seen as a Democratic Party stronghold since 1992. In American politics it is also called the Commonwealth of Democrats. But in 2016, Republicans won here, after which Donald Trump was elected President. Due to not getting a large number of seats in Pennsylvania, it may be difficult for Kamala Harris to win the US elections. Since 1948, no Democratic candidate has entered the White House without winning Pennsylvania.
Inflation is a big issue in Pennsylvania right now
A major issue for Pennsylvania voters is inflation. Household food prices have been rising rapidly in Pennsylvania for some time. There are six million Asian-Americans in Pennsylvania, the largest group of which are Indian-Americans. The campaigns of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have acknowledged that they face their toughest challenge in the state.
Pennsylvania has 19 Electoral College votes
Pennsylvania is called a swing state. A century ago there were 38 electoral votes. But people from many industrial states in the northern parts of America have moved to other states. Which also includes Pennsylvania. But now only half i.e. 19 electoral college votes are left.
These states will determine swing states for the next president
A candidate needs 270 votes to win a US election. This time the results of seven states Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia will decide who will be the next President. These states remain swing states.
Both the candidates campaigned the most here
Along with Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia are also expected to play a key role in deciding the winner. Because the voters here have not created a one-sided mood like other states. This is the reason why both the candidates have been seen campaigning here the most before the elections.
Donald Trump campaigned on illegal immigrants, crime and inflation as well as bringing back jobs. Along with this, they are also attacking irregularities in the elections.
