Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) reviewed the numbers and showed that Donald Trump has a steep hill to climb to win Pennsylvania.

Shapiro said on CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper:

Importantly, I think it’s also something notable that last night in Pennsylvania, when the votes were tallying, we’re still telling a few here and there. But just looking at the broader numbers, about 160,000 registered Republicans went to the polls and voted for Nikki Haley. About 100,000 to 120,000 voted for someone other than Joe Biden on the Democratic side, as you were alluding to before. That’s a delta of about 40,00-45,000 votes to the negative for Donald Trump.

Just put that in some perspective in 2016 in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump only won the commonwealth by 44,000 votes. He’s got a lot of work to do to win over voters, particularly in suburban communities outside Harrisburg and Erie, Pittsburgh, and, of course, Philadelphia. People who are incredibly angry that he ripped away their fundamental freedoms and he’s taking credit for this overturned Roe v.Wade. That’s going to continue to be an issue that he’s not making any inroads on. So I think each candidate has some work to do. The hill is quite steeper for Donald Trump to climb.
