True to an extent, about 2/3 of Haley’s votes came from in person voting.
Trump was going to have a hard time topping 85% with Haley on the ballot... this is due to the dynamic of who Trump’s base is.
Trump’s base and the GOP base overlap, but are NOT the same.. about 80-85% of the GOP base are MAGA/Trump the remaining 15-20% are McRomBush/Establshment/Globalist/etc Folks. With Haley on the ballot, Trump’s absolute max here would be about 85%, period.
PA is a closed primary, so the remaining 15-20% of Trump’s base can’t vote in the GOP primary because they aren’t registered republicans. Though it is worth noting GOP registration is up 209k and Independent Registration is up 108K and D Registration is actually down 195k+ since 2020.
Biden’s numbers Tuesday are HORRIBLE... I know the MSM will want to play up Trump only getting 83%, but Biden not topping 90% as a sitting president running for re-election is absolutely unprecedented in PA, at least in the modern era... that’s the real news story, but they will largely ignore it.
