The 2016 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania took place on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 general election in which all fifty states and the District of Columbia participated. Pennsylvania voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote.
On April 26, 2016, in the presidential primaries, voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic, Republican, and Green parties' respective nominees for president. Pennsylvania is a closed primary state, meaning voters must have been registered to participate in their respective party primary.
Donald Trump, a Reality TV star, won Pennsylvania by 44,292 votes out of more than six million cast, a difference of 0.72% and the narrowest margin in a presidential election for the state in 176 years, since 1840 when William Henry Harrison defeated Martin van Buren by just 0.2%.
Prior to the election, major news organizations were conflicted about whether Pennsylvania was leaning Democratic or too close to call. Donald Trump's appeal to Rust Belt workers, combined with the traditional Republican support coming from rural areas of the state, overtook the urban vote. Areas such as Luzerne County saw swings of up to 12%, making him the first Republican candidate for president to carry Pennsylvania since George H. W. Bush in 1988. Additionally, this was the first time since 1948 that the Democratic candidate performed worse in Pennsylvania than in the nation at large; in fact it was the first time since 1948 in which the Democratic candidate who ultimately led in the nationwide popular vote failed to carry Pennsylvania.
