How Pennsylvania Could Decide The Election
Americast - A podcast by BBC Radio
In 2020 Joe Biden won this key swing state by fewer than 81,000 votes. In 2024, the path to the White House may be impossible for the Democrats unless they win over the people of Pennsylvania.And the Republican know it. Vance and Trump are both visiting this week.In this episode of Americast we investigate what makes Pennsylvania so important, and what makes its voters tick. Sarah and Sumi are joined by two people with their fingers on the pulse; a morning radio host and a political strategist on different sides of the aisle.HOSTS:- Sarah Smith, North America Editor - Sumi Somaskanda, BBC Chief PresenterGUESTS:- Mike Mikus local Democrat political advisor - RJ Harris WHP 580 radio morning presenter GET IN TOUCH:* Join our online community: https://discord.gg/qSrxqNcmRB * Send us a message or voice note via WhatsApp to +44 330 123 9480 * Email [email protected] * Or use #AmericastUS Election Unspun: Sign up for Anthony’s new BBC newsletter: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68093155This episode was made by Chris Flynn with Rufus Gray, Catherine Fusillo, and Craig Langran.
