The media highlighted how many votes Donald Trump lost in Pennsylvania to Nikki Haley but didn't report the huge Democratic protest vote against Joe Biden.
Just about 236 miles from here lies Montgomery County, where reporters and analysts are beside themselves scrutinizing what the message is from all thoseThe interest is understandable. Pennsylvania is a vitally important state for Trump and President Joe Biden. It’s arguable that Biden needs it even more than Trump does.When looking for trends, it makes sense to ask what these suburban Republican voters are telling Trump with their protest vote for Haley.
In short, while the highly populated, highly educated suburban counties of Philadelphia matter, it is more than likely that blue-collar counties such as Somerset, Erie, and Northampton will matter at least equally. They sure did in 2016, and they are giving reporters and strategists a wealth of information to dissect as well.
For perspective, four years ago, only 2,000 Democrats in Philadelphia, 6,000 in Allegheny, and 1,800 in Montgomery County wrote in a candidate in the Pennsylvania presidential primary.
