I'm a native of PA, a former almost neighbor of yours from Erie County. As far as I can see, it is the urban areas that will carry Shapiro and Fetterman. Pittsburgh metro area, Philly, maybe Erie. Erie was solidly Democratic while I was growing up there, but shifted, especially after native son Ridge entered politics. Working and middle classes in Erie were hard hit by the Rust Belt decline and are not so solidly Democratic as in the past.

I have an online subscription to the Erie Times and as a western NYer, I'm also not very far from PA. So I get PA political ads popping up on my screen. They are all Republican ads trashing Fetterman on crime. I've been wondering how effective they have been.
