Could Pennsylvania be out of reach for Kamala Harris?
Fox News anchor John Roberts analyzed the voting tally in Pennsylvania and focused on Philadelphia County.
“There are estimates that because of the depressed early vote for Democrats that Kamala Harris is going to need to pull 700,000 votes here in Philadelphia in order to pull out a win,” Roberts said.
Roberts reviewed the voting tallies in Philadelphia for the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.
Clinton got 560,542 votes in Philadelphia.
Biden got 603,790 votes in Philadelphia.
“So she’s gonna need another 100,000 votes here in Philadelphia to hit that 700,000 margin,” Roberts said.

“John Roberts is right. Because we closed the gap significantly w/ VBM, the Dems have NO choice but to physically turn out their voters. Republicans should NOT get complacent or think we have this in the bag. The Dems have a machine in Philly. We need to turn out in FORCE,” Sean Parnell commented.

Political analyst Van Jones previously said on CNN he was “nervous and worried” about Harris’ chances in Pennsylvania.
“Philadelphia is where we’ve gotta run up a big margin, but Philly overall has been trending down, not in terms of going toward the Republicans, just people not getting out to vote,” Jones said.
“And so you got people out there like Pastor Carl Day, who’s got a bunch of young men with him knockin’ on doors, trying to get people to come out. It’s a bigger, tougher fight in Philly to get that vote count up than it has been in the past. That has me worried,” he added.

From the New York Post:
Pennsylvania could be the state that ultimately decides which candidate is the next President of the United States for the next four years, experts said.
Trump and Harris are in a deadlocked tie in the Keystone State, according to the final New York Times/Siena poll.
Jones also fretted about how Harris will perform among Jewish voters in Pennsylvania, particularly in Philadelphia where he said President Biden claimed 70% of the pivotal Jewish vote in 2020.
“Some polls show Kamala at 50-50,” he said. “That is 70,000 votes we bled away, that is the margin for victory,” Jones said.
Fellow CNN commentator Scott Jennings predicted that whichever candidate wins Pennsylvania will be in the White House in January.
In its no toss-up map, RealClearPolitics projects Donald Trump to win Pennsylvania.

The map has Trump taking Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.
It shows Harris taking Michigan and Wisconsin.
