Donald Trump suffered a blow in the Pennsylvania primary on Tuesday, as tens of thousands of Republicans refused to vote for him despite being the presumptive GOP nominee.

The former president won the primary race in the key swing state with 83.5 percent of the vote, amounting to more than 786,000 votes.

However, Nikki Haley, who ended her campaign for the White House after Super Tuesday in March, still received 16.5 percent of the vote, equating to more than 155,000 ballots.

The Context

Trump has dominated the Republican primary, and won enough delegates to clinch the Republican presidential nomination in March after victories in Georgia, Mississippi and Washington state. However, there have been signs that Trump is still struggling to garner support from more moderate and independent voters who could be key in the general election against President Joe Biden, especially in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

The media keeps wanting Democrats to be demoralized and keep hand-wringing and "worrying" about an "uncommitted" protest vote while they CONTINUE to IGNORE the "Haley Factor", which is a protest vote that is STILL happening against 45, and that in some cases, almost doubles the Biden protest vote.

From the OP excerpt regarding yesterday's PA Primary -



As a sidenote - my youngest niece voted for the first time yesterday (my sis got a pic of her afterwards). She turned 18 in February. She has been going into polling places since she was in the womb and was brought to her "first election" in 2006 at 3 months old. When she was 2 years old during the Obama campaign, I had her practice saying "Obama".
