Keystone State Smackdown: Hillary Clinton Defeats Bernie Sanders In Pennsylvania

Last updated on September 25th, 2023 at 01:59 pm

Hillary Clinton is projected to win in Pennsylvania in what was another win in her steady march to the Democratic nomination.

The Pennsylvania result was never in doubt as Clinton maintained the strong 2008 organization in the Keystone state that scored her a victory over Barack Obama. Clinton’s smallest polling lead in the state was eight points and her biggest was 15 points. Sen. Sanders never stood much of a chance in Pennsylvania as the state’s closed primary and diverse Democratic electorate both went against his pattern of success in the 2016 primary.

The best Bernie Sanders could have hoped for would have been to hold Clinton to a single digit win, but the Sanders campaign knew what was coming their way, as they did not act like a campaign that was in a position to win the state.

Sen. Bob Casey praised Clinton for her overwhelming win in the state, “Hillary Clinton has a won a decisive and substantial victory in Pennsylvania that will propel her to the Democratic nomination and the presidency. She campaigned hard throughout the Commonwealth and I was pleased to be able to join her, President Clinton and Chelsea Clinton on multiple occasions during the last week. Beginning in Iowa, the primary process has energized our party and made clear what’s at stake in this election. As President, Hillary Clinton will advance an agenda that raises incomes for middle class families, invests in early education for our children and deals with threats like ISIS. We don’t know who the Republicans will nominate, but the candidates running in the Republican primary are running on an extreme agenda that will take our nation backwards.”

The final margin of victory will determine how many delegates Clinton will get to add to her lead, but the former Sec. of State has once again won a large state by a large margin. Bernie Sanders will continue to fight until the end, but after tonight, his campaign may be more about the future of the Democratic Party, not the 2016 presidential nomination.
