Harris won Biden’s home county in Pennsylvania by less than 1%, a steep drop from Biden’s and Obama’s wins

rom gold-high top sneakers to Women-for-Trump tank tops, iron-on “Fight, Fight, Fight” patches to a poster depicting a 19th-century cowboy outlaw, sales of Trump merchandise at the Trump store in Scranton,, tripled in sales in the days after the once and future president’s landslide second-term win in the US election last week.

Harris narrowly won the county by less than 1%, significantly down on Biden’s 8% in 2020 and Barack Obama’s 30% in 2012. Hopes that Latino voters would come through for Harris didn’t materialize. Democrats lost Pennsylvania and every other swing state. “I don’t blame Biden, I blame the party. He’s 80. Give him a break. They should have been grooming someone else.

Larry Cornelius, a Black voter who voted Democrat, predicted that Trump’s promise to remake the economy in favor of working-class Americans would end in disappointment. “This isn’t going pan out how they think,” he said.
