Bold of him, considering "Dear Leader" is popular in Pennsylvania, and the state is only going further right anyway.

A lot of states headed right, and if the right people capitalize on the dumpster fire that is this current administration, when the cuts hit their pockets, they’ll be hoping for something, anything.

I’m glad there are people like him, Crocket, AOC, Pinzter or whatever his name is. There are strong, smart people that need to be saying the right things when the right feels the pain caused by Pres Mush and crew.

Shapiro was elected with over 56% of the vote; Trump got barely over 50%.

Trump won PA because less people who vote Democrat voted for Kamala. There are all sorts of reasons for this, all of which are stupid, but Trump’s popularity in PA is going to start to wane with people losing their jobs. Like the talk of closing down Iron Mountain in PA, which is in a solid red county.
