A closer look:
Townhall reports:
Although the Democratic Party has 338,000 more registered voters than the Republican Party, the left has lost nearly 5,000 voters since the primaries in April.
Meanwhile, Bucks and Luzerne County have slowly turned red.
Before the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump in July, Democrats had the advantage in Bucks County. However, following the horrific attempt on Trump’s life, Republicans slowly took the lead. Meanwhile, in Luzerne County, an almost 2,000-voter lead on July 1 flipped last week to an 83-voter lead for the GOP.
Breitbart highlighted that five Pennsylvania counties have flipped Republican since the 2020 presidential election.

Per Breitbart:
The counties that flipped Republican are just outside larger Pennsylvania cities in both the East and West parts of the state:
- Beaver: D+6.0 to R+2.5% (West of Pittsburgh)
- Berks: D+2.1% to R+2.5% (West of Allentown)
- Bucks: D+2.0% to R+0.5% (Southeast of Allentown)
- Fayette: D+6.5% to R+9.2% (South of Pittsburgh)
- Luzerne D=9.1% to R+0.2% (Southwest of Scranton)
Republicans failed to secure key wins in recent Pennsylvania elections. Trump lost the state to President Joe Biden in 2020 by about 80,000 votes. Sen. John Fetterman (D) defeated Republican Dr. Oz by about 263,000 votes in 2022. Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) beat the GOP’s Douglas Mastriano by 790,000 votes in 2022.
The losses caused Citizens Alliance, a grassroots organization, to launch an initiative in 2023 dubbed “Pennsylvania Chase” to increase Republican voter registration and mail-in voting results. “Our PA CHASE team in Philly has been targeting Bucks County, which scares the living daylights out of the Democrats,” PA Chase Chief Strategist Justin Greiss told Breitbart News.
On Saturday, President Trump held a historic rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The crowd total was estimated around 60,000.
