What Matters Most in Pennsylvania's Election: Energy, Education, and Voter Excitement

Pennsylvania could be the deciding state in the 2024 election. But what issues will sway voters? Energy, education, and voter enthusiasm are the three key themes to watch. Energy costs have risen, making it a hot topic. Many Pennsylvanians support fracking for cheaper energy. This could be tough for Vice President Kamala Harris, who's linked to policies that hurt fracking. Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, is trusted more on this issue.

Education is also crucial, especially in communities of color. Many black and Hispanic students struggle with math and reading. Voters in these communities want school choice options. Trump supports school choice, while Harris focuses on other issues that aren't as important to these voters. Lastly, voter turnout will be key. Both parties need to get their supporters to the polls. Democrats have a lead in early voting, but Republicans are trying to close the gap. Independents could be the deciding factor. They're not sure who to vote for, and many will decide on Election Day.
