Close enough to commute to Pittsburgh, but with enough small towns to be Trump country. Butler County, Pennsylvania, is where the president needs a blowout win to help overcome Biden’s suburban momentum.

But the math behind the theory is tight. Trump’s plan requires blowout victories and historic turnout in conservative strongholds across the state, places where he outperformed traditional Republicans four years ago and he knows must do even better. His mission is made clear by his campaign stops in Pennsylvania this week — a tour through GOP areas like Latrobe, Lititz and Martinsburg,

So his fate lies in large part in places like Butler County, an overwhelmingly white, conservative county north of Pittsburgh. There are nearly two Republicans for each registered Democrat. Most adults did not graduate from college. The economy rests on manufacturing and fracking, as well as service-sector jobs from suburbs creeping in from the city.Republican turnout in Butler County was an impressive 80% in 2016.

The mayor has aimed to turn out younger voters, a group that normally favors Democrats. But in Butler County, there are almost twice as many Republicans under 35 as there are Democrats — and their perspectives veer from the politics of their peers across the country. Republicans like Longo are also hunting for voters like Dane Patricelli, a 27-year-old construction worker who leans conservative but cast his ballot in 2016 for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.

At 52, she retired from working at a Walmart store and has seen Cranberry Township become part of Pittsburgh’s suburban sprawl. Barrickman said she voted Republican four years ago but can’t this time around. Butler County has 10,600 Republicans who were registered but did not vote in 2016. About 11% of them decided to cast a ballot in this year’s Republican primary, in which Trump ran unopposed, according to the analysis using data from L2, a political data firm. That’s a strong indicator that those voters are likely to vote again this year.

Many of the Republican volunteers in Butler County are women, and their message is that Democrats just don’t understand parts of the country where schools close for the start of hunting season, said Trish Lindsay, the wife of the local party chairman as well as the vice-chair.While the pandemic is often viewed as a millstone on the president’s popularity, Republicans here say it’s given Trump an extra push. His supporters said the restrictions set by Democratic Gov.

“Please suburban wives will you please love me” -pathetic man begging for love from a group he doesn’t understand.

Not gonna happen.

Is this the same momentum that Hilary had in 16?

Suburban momentum....ha yea not in Florida

WillGravesAP That’s actually not true. Westmoreland County is the only county that matters. He beat Hillary by 53k and won the state by 44k. If Trump wins Westmoreland by less than 44k, Biden will win PA.

Pmurt 0202...

Audio evidence of Hunter Biden admitting to being in a partnership with the “Spy Chief of China” and he admits his father knew. Your silence on this is deafening.

Enough! Vote this error away.

I live in Butler. The Trump energy is not the same as it was in 2016. Trump will win, the county is 63% republican, but blow out? His suckers & losers comments hurt him with veterans, we have a large VA hospital here. Covid has hurt him with the 20% of the population over 65.

Yeah...that's not going to happen. VOTE

Don’t help these ppl. You kniw damn well Trump is a monster.

The GOP is desperate and unhinged and actively involved in voter suppression. A vast majority of them are TREASONOUS 👎👎👎👎

Methinks someone misspelt 'stalks' as 'hunts'

The photo is misleading. You can't see the lake and the sunken boats out of frame below. This snap must have been taken just before the flags sank beneath the surface.

Is it going to happen janinedunmyre ?

Biden and momentum in the same sentence sounds pretty funny. 🤣🤣

BITCOIN IS GOING NUTS!! OPPOSITE OF STOCKS!! It is up over $500 in 24 hours to $13.6k and it isn't suppose to slow down till 20k!!!! JP Morgan, PayPal, Venmo adoptions! Bitcoin FOMO is here! AND SHES A PEACH 🍑!!

Vote Trump out!

The Philadelphia riots and looting should help out Trump

It’s not a great sign for a democracy when a county with a population of 300,000 could potentially determine an election for a country of 320 million.

You think Suburbs want Democrat policies? Thank again.

So you supported Trump right up until your family members got COVID-19 WAKE UP

thanks

The ones he never created new jobs for in four years and fucked this base over with his ridiculous Chinese tariffs.....well ok than. (BTW suburban women still don’t like him.)

Y’all... I know what rich white guys in PA think bc you’ve been telling us for four years. Come interview some Biden voters in Alabama.

Biden’s suburban momentum is busy looting stores and burning cities. Think they will bother to vote?

Drove through that county 3 weeks ago.... all TRUMP! Trump2020Landslide

Momentum is not a word I'd use to describe Biden's campaign.

Pennsylvania wants law and order

who in their right mind would vote for Joe Corrupt Biden
