THIS. It's really hard for her, from an electoral standpoint, if she doesn't take PA. That's why they've had so many rallies, so much money, so much time there. I live miles from the Mason Dixon Line and get to PA regularly. The people up there must be so ready for Tuesday. Every commercial. Every billboard. 9 out 10 yards. They are all election related. People must be tuned out. Of course, the ads and shit will probably start on Friday for 2026 and 2028. I'm sure it's the same way in NC as well.
And you're right about Shapiro. They were too worried about pissing off the other side. But, it's not like they'd ever vote orange, so it was really more about turnout.
