COUNTIES TO WATCH
Philadelphia
A solid Democratic bastion, Hillary Clinton won fewer votes in the city of Philadelphia than Barack Obama did in 2012, despite a growing population. Whether Joe Biden will land closer to Obama or Clinton could tell the story of how Pennsylvania goes.
Bucks County
Of the suburban Philadelphia counties, Bucks is the most competitive. In 2016, Hillary Clinton carried it by less than a percentage point, after Barack Obama won it by about 2 points in 2012.
Luzerne County
Luzerne County exemplifies the dramatic shift in Northeastern Pennsylvania that the 2016 election brought. After breaking for the Democrats throughout the Bush and Obama years, Donald Trump carried the county by nearly 20 points.
Erie County
An Obama-Trump county in the northwest corner of the state, it hasn't had the economic growth or revitalization that has come to the state's urban centers. Trump narrowly carried the county, while Obama enjoyed double-digit margins there in both of his runs for the presidency.
Beaver County
In the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Beaver County has broken Republican in the last few presidential elections but Trump's support here was lower than in its neighboring suburban counties.
