“The bellwether of suburban voters are the four collar counties outside Philadelphia. When you look at those four counties, Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden by 104,400 more votes in 2020 than he lost to Hillary Clinton in 2016. And what did he lose Pennsylvania by? Just 80,000 votes. So he didn’t lose Pennsylvania in Philadelphia as the myth goes. In fact, he did better in Philadelphia in 2020 than he did in 2016. He lost because of those suburban voters.”
