In addition to his presidential win, Trump played a crucial role in Republican David McCormick's victory over three-term Democratic Senator Bob Casey, allowing the GOP to reclaim a Senate seat lost in 2022.

These Republican victories shifted Pennsylvania's congressional delegation from a 9-8 Democratic majority to a 10-7 Republican majority, enhancing GOP control in the House.

Donald Trump secured a decisive victory in Michigan, winning by approximately 83,000 votes, while also claiming Pennsylvania by about 2%, marking a significant comeback after his loss to Biden in 2020.

In Michigan, Trump increased his margins in suburban counties, while Democrats lost their state House majority, ending their control after two years of significant legislation on gun safety and abortion rights.

For the first time since 1980, Republicans will hold all three statewide row offices in Pennsylvania, including treasurer, auditor general, and attorney general, reflecting a significant political shift.

Voter dissatisfaction with the economy played a crucial role in the election, with about one-third of voters in Pennsylvania feeling financially worse off compared to previous years.

Democratic leaders expressed concerns that Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign failed to resonate with key demographics, particularly young white men, which contributed to Trump's appeal.

Polling indicated strong support for fracking in Pennsylvania, a contentious issue during the campaign, with two-thirds of voters favoring its expansion.

Despite the Republican gains, legislative majorities in Pennsylvania remained unchanged, with Republicans maintaining their majority in the state Senate and Democrats holding a slim majority in the state House.

In the U.S. House, Republicans flipped seven of Michigan's 13 congressional seats, including a victory in the 7th Congressional District previously held by Democrat Elissa Slotkin.

Democrats faced challenges in Michigan, including a loss of their state House majority and criticism of Harris's campaign strategy, leading to calls for a potential re-evaluation of their approach.

Trump's performance in Pennsylvania marked an increase of 1.8 percentage points compared to his 2020 results, while Harris's results fell 1.5 points short of Biden's 2020 figures.
