Democrats Grow More Anxious About Pennsylvania

“Joe Biden on Saturday prepared to mount a last-minute, two-day blitz of Pennsylvania, amid concern among some local Democrats about a potential late shift that would threaten his narrow advantage there and mirror President Trump’s 2016 comeback,” the Washington Post reports.

“Most Democrats still believe Biden will capture Pennsylvania, and he maintains a modest polling lead there, but their confidence has eroded in recent weeks with emerging signs of a tightening contest in the state, according to elected officials, strategists and party activists. Both sides believe the outcome in Pennsylvania will be crucial in determining who wins the White House.

I can see why it worries people, but does anyone seriously think a significant number of people in this most polarised of elections will be dissuaded from voting Biden by horrible shit happening under Trump's rule?

People talk about rallies and Trump saying this and that, but how many persuadable voters are there? This has been an incredibly stable race.

A significant amount of mail ballots being disqualified / ultimately being deemed late by SCOTUS is a legitimate issue, on the other hand. That’s Trump's pathway to victory - shenanigans.
