39. Pennsylvania is critical to making Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema obsolete... and winning in 2024!

<div> <div>Donald Trump won Pennsylvania by just over 44,000 votes in 2016, a margin of 0.7%. Joe Biden won the state by  80,555 votes in 2020, or 1.2%. But here’s the crazy thing—Trump got 407.000 more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016! That’s an increase of over 15%! In any conventional year, that would’ve been more than enough to secure victory. Yet Democrats turned out an eye-watering 532,000 more votes in 2020. Over half a million! On the plus side, we won! On the cautionary side, there are many first-time voters in that total. Will they turn out in 2022 when the stakes aren’t as obvious as in 2020? Markos and Kerry are joined by <a href= "https://twitter.com/jamieperrapato" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://twitter.com/jamieperrapato&source=gmail&ust=1634769325298000&usg=AOvVaw3MWT3KlmkbWOOwCPGYWw_E"> Jamie Perrapato</a>, Executive Director of <a href= "https://www.turnpablue.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.turnpablue.org/&source=gmail&ust=1634769325298000&usg=AOvVaw2TGXxpobmwRlAf32tkTEEM"> Turn PA Blue</a>, an organization dedicated to flipping the Pennsylvania state legislature by training and mobilizing grassroots groups and volunteers to support candidates in Southeastern PA and beyond.
