How Bernie Sanders thinks he can win Pennsylvania — and the presidency
show that significant numbers of Democratic voters prefer a contender who can win over one who shares their ideology. If Biden jumps into the presidential race, Sanders will need to prove to voters that he's better equipped to take on Trump in Pennsylvania than the fellow labor ally.
“When you look at your path to getting the electoral votes to win the presidency, you see Pennsylvania. So Sen. Sanders is wise to choose Pennsylvania as part of his electoral mix,” said Mustafa Rashed, a Democratic consultant based in Pennsylvania. “But I don’t know if moderate voters around the Southeast ... are going to be moved by messages of socialism and wealth distribution. They’re moderates.
“If you feel like you’ve been forgotten by the federal government, by the American culture movements over the last decade or so, Sanders can come in and in very clear terms lay out a visible and defeatable enemy: the millionaires and billionaires, the corporations, the rigged system,” said Aren Platt, a Democratic strategist in Pennsylvania. “He’s talking to those voters directly, and not just in his message, but also in his actual physical location.
In an April memo, Sanders' campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, said Sanders is well-positioned in Pennsylvania, as well as in Michigan and Wisconsin, because of his platform on trade, health care and unions.
