Trump garnered over \u2064130,000 more votes than Harris, thanks in part to strong performances in key counties around Philadelphia and significant shifts in \u200btraditionally Democratic areas. For instance, \u2063counties like Delaware, Montgomery, and Chester showed notable shifts towards Trump compared to the 2020 elections. Specifically, Delaware County shifted 3.4 percentage points, Montgomery County 3.6 points, \u2062and Chester County 3.1 points \u200btowards Trump. In the city of Philadelphia, while Harris maintained a win with about 58% of the vote, Trump improved his margin by nearly 5 points, particularly gaining support among Latino voters. Additionally, Trump won Bucks County, marking the first time a Republican presidential candidate claimed it since 1988, further illustrating his increasing appeal\u200d in the region.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">The Pennsylvania counties that helped deliver Trump the state&rsquo;s 19 electoral votes<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1876437\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President-elect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a>&lsquo;s victory in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pennsylvania\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Pennsylvania<\/a> was one of his key decisive wins Tuesday as he took down the three &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/who-said-it-best-vp-contenders-audition-for-slot-by-slamming-vance-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Who said it best: VP contenders audition for slot by slamming Vance - Washington Examiner\">blue wall&#038;rdquo<\/a>; states en route to a victory in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"presidential race.\">presidential race.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Overall, Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, 50.5%-48.5%, in Pennsylvania, with the president-elect winning more than 130,000 more votes than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a> in the commonwealth. Trump&rsquo;s win was aided by strong performances in several key counties in the greater Philadelphia area, along with some bellwether areas, including in the western part of the Keystone State.<\/p>\n<p>In many of the Democratic counties around Philadelphia, including Delaware, Montgomery, and Chester counties, Trump made gains on his margins from 2020. While Harris easily won all three counties, she was unable to drive up the margins like how President Joe Biden did four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Delaware County shifted 3.4 percentage points more toward Trump compared to 2020, Montgomery County shifted 3.6 points more toward Trump, and Chester County shifted 3.1 points more toward Trump this year compared to four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Within Philadelphia itself, Harris won by roughly 58%, but in an area where Democratic votes are key to driving up margins to win statewide, the city voted 4.9 points more toward Trump in 2024 compared to 2020. One of the key reasons for Trump&rsquo;s gains was his improved margins with Latino voters, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/politics\/election\/latino-voters-philadelphia-trump-win-2024-election-results-20241106.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"according to\">according to<\/a> the <em>Philadelphia Inquirer<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In Bucks County, just north of Philadelphia, Trump became the first GOP presidential candidate to win it since 1988.

The former president saw a 5.6-point improvement in Lackawanna County from 2020 and in Luzerne County, where Trump saw a 5.7-point improvement from 2020. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">white working-class makeup<\/a> of the area helped Trump win the state as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-to-leave-vacation-for-labor-day-campaigning-with-harris-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Biden to leave vacation for Labor Day campaigning with Harris - Washington Examiner\">union workers&#038;rsquo<\/a>; votes were up for grabs without Biden at the top of the ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Northampton County, a bellwether in the eastern part of Pennsylvania, flipped back to Trump this year after voting for Biden in 2020. Trump saw a 2.9-point improvement in the county, along with a 5.2-point improvement in neighboring Lehigh County, as the area was a key pickup area for Trump&rsquo;s statewide odds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE IN THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The president-elect also saw key gains in the western part of the state, including flipping Erie County back from the Democrats.
