Donald Trump flips Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in suburban Philadelphia

 
Bucks County hadn't voted for a Republican since 1988.

Donald Trump received 187,367 votes in 2020 and 195,147 votes in 2024, a 4% increase of 7,780.

Joe Biden received 204,712 votes in 2020, and Kamala Harris received 194,365 votes in 2024, a 5% decrease of 10,347.

All this looks to be a continuation of the political realignment that Trump has ushered into the region since 2016. But what of the elephant in the room: Philadelphia and its four suburban counties? The GOP nominee had fared worse than typical Republicans in the suburbs in 2016, and the trend continued in 2020. In 2024, though, he has stemmed these losses. Trump looks to have lost Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties, but by about the same amount as in 2020, possibly by slightly less. The fourth suburban county, Bucks, is on course to go red.
