Suburban voters and senior citizens are bringing Donald Trump's campaign down across the country, but in Pennsylvania, the situation is worse. Pennsylvania has one of the largest populations of people age 65 and older, and more than half the electorate in the state are suburbanites, making their defection to Joe Biden even more damaging to the president.

It is a very big problem, given that Pennsylvania is an important swing state in Trump's Rust Belt path to winning in the impending election. Trump was the first Republican presidential candidate since 1988 to carry the state, particularly by winning older and suburban voters, along with blue-collar white workers in ancestrally Democratic areas.

With Election Day just around the corner, surveys suggest those voters are looking at something different one more time. Biden is leading Trump in the state by 6 percent, according to polling average RealClearPolitics, and is ahead of the president in all 12 public polls released since June.

Democratic Sen. Bob Casey pointed out that Biden's party is not in power, which, by definition, makes him the candidate of change and claims that's a huge disadvantage. Casey went on to explain that regardless of what Hillary Clinton with her campaign schedule, she was running after eight years of a Democratic president, meaning, she wasn't the change candidate.

Democratic-elected strategists, party leaders, and elected officials in Pennsylvania say that Biden is leading because of Trump’s mishandling of coronavirus, which poses more a serious threat to seniors. To make things worse, Trump broken promises to workers about rewriting trade deals and shelling out a huge amount of money to helping them, POLITICO reported.

Democratic officials believe Biden's reputation for being a leader who can across the aisle to solve the country's problems helps him gain a lead over the president. Moreover, they argue that Biden is garnering support because he is a Scranton native and former Delaware senator whom the Philadelphia media network covered for years.

Furthermore, the Democratic officials claim Biden doesn't anger swing voters or GOP like Clinton. They say Biden is a moderate white man who doesn't make a lot of waves in a state that has elected more than its fair share of white male politicians.

Hating Joe Biden does not excite their base and their Fox News viewers the way going after AOC, Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton does, Rep. Brendan Boyle explained. Boyle had endorsed Biden the day he launched his campaign this year.

He goes on to say that he doesn't know whether gender or race is a factor, adding that he has certain suspicions. Trump gave Biden the nickname "Sleepy Joe," resembling his moniker for the senator’s 2018 reelection campaign, "Sleeping Bob."
