Pennsylvania is a crucial contest that will determine the next president of the United States. While left-leaning articles highlight that Pennsylvania’s competitiveness in election rules and procedures counting ballots make it especially contentious, right-leaning articles highlight that in his events in Pittsburgh on Monday, Biden slammed President Trump.

A left-leaning article by The Boston Globe highlights that Pennsylvania’s competitiveness in election rules and procedures counting ballots make it especially contentious. Voters in Pennsylvania waited in long lines on Tuesday morning to cast their ballots. 

NPR published a centrist article reporting that President Trump rallied supports in Wilkes-Barre two days after holding four separate events across Pennsylvania, while the Biden campaign went to Beaver County, Pittsburgh, and Lehigh Valley. Trump appears to be more competitive in Pennsylvania than in two other swing states he won in 2016, while Biden had a 7-point lead in Pennsylvania three weeks ago.

A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that in his events in Pittsburgh on Monday, Biden slammed President Trump, stating that “it’s time for Donald Trump to pack his bags and go home.” The Biden campaign has been heavily concentrated in Pennsylvania, as it is Biden’s native state.
