Hispanic voters won Pennsylvania for Donald Trump

According to Fox News and CBS, Donald Trump is now projected to win the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania, and with it the presidency. As victory looks increasingly assured, a few trends stand out from results in the Keystone State.

Trump’s campaign promised that his appeal among Hispanic voters would boost him in Philadelphia and the smaller line of cities across eastern Pennsylvania — Lancaster, Reading, Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, and Hazelton. Kamala Harris’s campaign team thought the group would turn out for Democrats, as it had done in previous years, spurred on perhaps by the widespread media coverage of an offensive joke about Puerto Rico told by a comedian during a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden.
