Why U.S voters are ditching the Democrats in record numbers in Pennsylvania? Here's the reason
Kamala Harris' Democratic Party suffered an alarming voter registration loss in Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state in the US election 2024. Knewz.com reported that over 113,000 registered Democrats changed parties in 2024, roughly double the number from the previous year. This represents a growing trend as voters desert the party, register as Independents or become Republicans.
Democratic Support is Eroding
The reasons most voters point out for abandoning the Democrats are primarily dissatisfaction with the party's stance on economic issues, inflation, and policy direction. The highest defections take place in the state's suburban and rural areas, where more and more former Democratic voters get worried about government spending and regulatory measures. This happens at an opportune time as Pennsylvania remains a battleground for the 2024 presidential election.

Impact on 2024 Election
The loss of such a sizeable voter base in Pennsylvania could actually have a huge impact for the Democratic Party in the elections. The switch will likely tip the balance for swing districts to favor Republican candidates. These trends seen in Pennsylvania may reflect broader national shifts that signal a tougher road ahead for Democrats, at least in these swing states.
