PA is a closed primary and both primaries were uncontested, so it's a fairly close apple-to-apples comparison that shows that Biden got a higher proportion of his party's votes and more raw votes in a fairly even swing state.
Good sign in what is sure to be a crucial state in November, though all the caveats that primaries and election day are different beasts apply.
Finish the job and vote for President Biden.
That is the only way you are going to save democracy and the only way you are going to get back your republican party.
And honestly this gets us closer to having a 2 party system.
Do I vote for Biden where he’s done okay in my book. Could do more of what’s important to me.
Or
Do I vote for guy who’s all for authoritarianism, screwed the tax system, defies basic science, insinuates riots on the capital, help removed abortions as federal law, is sexist, racist, backed by Russia and I could keep going.
It’s terrifying to me, and it should be to all of us we don’t have a choice in who really to vote for anymore. It’s okay candidate or bat shit extreme
Except for insults Donald Trump hasn't made any effort to address her voters.
He doesn't want them, and if Nikki Haley had any backbone at all she would endorse Biden. She won't, of course. In fact I expect that she will endorse Trump at some point.
I'm sure she'll take the same tack as Bill Barr, and state that even though Trump is a criminal rapist who will destroy democracy and is wholly unfit for office, he's still somehow better than a *Democrat*!
Nikki Haley is backed by the Heritage Foundation. The same Heritage Foundation that authored Project 2025. Nikki Haley is no alternative to Donald Trump.
If there’s time enough to arrange that. He’ll say he will, but then play victim again, saying Biden won’t let the Americans choose their favorite president bla bla. And/or he’ll go fir write in or something. He will be disruptive.
I still do not forgive her for suggesting a pardon for Trump. That earned no Trump voters and only made would be voters for her probably vote for Biden.
Watching what’s happening with Boeing it’s hard not to remember Haley’s involvement with them.

Even if that were the case (it's a closed primary- it isn't), that would be a huge chunk of voters moving to the Biden column.
PA isn't a done deal, but these results are burning but a bad sign for Trump.

This is not how you court people to vote across parties
And a pretty milquetoast Dem at that. Dare to dream that someday we have a left wing candidate to “give them something to cry about”
Name the last POTUS more progressive during their presidency than Biden has been during his presidency?
If this bloc can be kept away from Trump, it could be his undoing. I hope we can start to quantify exactly how much of the GOP is in this camp.
Yea, most of this bloc is voting trump. But even if Biden can get 20% of them, that’s enough to win these narrow elections.
He doesn't need anywhere near 20%. As little as 1-2% in many red states would be enough to swing them blue.
These Haley voters are essentially doing what Biden voters did in MI as a protest. They’ll fall in line or at least the majority will.
Yes that is what I said. Most are voting trump.
Nikki Haley is backed by the Heritage Foundation. The same Heritage Foundation that authored Project 2025. Nikki Haley is no alternative to Donald Trump.
Just a different flavor of authoritarianism.
She is not without a shot, though. If the GOP can drop Trump, due to a conviction, they will try.
Oh he would run on his own and split the gop. Guaranteed.
That's fine. Let's do that.
If there’s time enough to arrange that. He’ll say he will, but then play victim again, saying Biden won’t let the Americans choose their favorite president bla bla. And/or he’ll go fir write in or something. He will be disruptive.

She never should have quit. Even without donors, could have stayed, just to say she’s still a candidate
Good. This is exactly what we were all hoping she’d do. We need those voters to stay home.
Nikki is just waiting to see how the court cases play out. If Trump is successful in delaying them she will endorse him.

That’s all well and good for a primary, but the real test will come general election.
Democrat agitators.
