Team Trump is getting nervous about Pennsylvania in 2020. A team of Trump campaign advisers is spending Wednesday in a come-to-Jesus with state Republicans as worries grow that Trump could lose the state he so narrowly carried in 2016.
It’s not just that Pennsylvania voted by large margins for a Democratic governor and senator in 2018, added three Democrats to its House contingent, and flipped 16 legislative seats from red to blue—though those things are relevant. It’s also that the state Republican Party is in the kind of shambles that has Politico noting, as a positive sign, that there hasn’t been a no-confidence vote taken against the party chair. Team Trump is also unhappy that Pennsylvania Republicans didn’t do a good job at packing the audience for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ recent Fox News town hall with Trump loyalists.
But the Trump campaign could also look squarely at one Donald J. Trump, whose approval in Pennsylvania is extremely low. Civiqs puts his approval at 43 percent to 54 percent disapproval, while a recent poll from Franklin & Marshall College had Trump at just 34 percent approval. No matter the reason, though, Trump’s people are taking the threat in Pennsylvania seriously—and as they turn their attention there, Democrats shouldn’t be overconfident.
