As the US Presidential election approaches its climax, Pennsylvania stands out as a pivotal battleground state. Both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are intensifying their campaigns, understanding the critical role this state plays, given its 19 major electoral votes and history as a swing state.

Residents like Shelley O'Rork express concerns about inflation and the impact on daily life, favoring Trump's approach to economic issues. Contrastingly, Sera Scherz, a college student, underscores the significance of women's rights, aligning more with Harris.

Amidst diverse political opinions, senior citizens and bellwether counties in Pennsylvania hold significant influence. The state reflects a deeply divided electorate, with both campaigns closely eyeing voter turnout and political affiliations for a decisive win.
