Pennsylvania election results expected quickly in 2024
- John Fetterman stated that the 2024 election results from Pennsylvania will be available faster than in 2020.
- He attributed the previous delays to the introduction of new mail voting laws and the pandemic.
- Fetterman expressed confidence in Vice President Kamala Harris's chances against Donald Trump but acknowledged a close race due to Trump's connection with Pennsylvania voters.
The 2024 election in Pennsylvania is anticipated to have a faster reporting of results compared to the previous election cycle in 2020. Senator John Fetterman, during an appearance on CNN's State of the Union, highlighted the improvements in election processes. He pointed out that delays in 2020 were largely due to the introduction of new mail-in voting laws and challenges posed by the pandemic, which impeded timely counting of ballots. Fetterman criticized former President Donald Trump's claims of voter fraud, referencing past instances where Trump attempted to delegitimize the election outcomes. He was firm in his belief that the elections conducted under the current circumstances would ensure a secure and fair process. Fetterman emphasized that there were isolated cases of voting irregularities, which were not reflective of widespread fraud. While predicting a closely contested race, Fetterman conveyed confidence in the abilities of Kamala Harris. He indicated that, despite Biden's clear victory in the last election, the upcoming election may not be as straightforward because of Trump's established connection with the state's electorate. Moreover, concerns were raised regarding the potential impact of ongoing conflicts, such as the war in Gaza, on the Jewish vote in Pennsylvania. Fetterman's vocal support for Israel may influence voter dynamics as the election approaches, with polls indicating a tight race in the state.
