Smart Talk: Will Pennsylvania decide the presidency?

We may know today whether President Trump will win a second term in office or if Joe Biden has been elected the nation’s next president.

Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes may be who determines who wins the election or it may not, depending on the votes being tabulated in other states, like Arizona and Nevada. Electoral votes from those two states would give Biden the 270 needed to win the presidency.

However, mail-in ballots are still being counted in Pennsylvania and Trump holds a lead heading into the end of the week.

On Thursday’s Smart Talk, we discuss the latest election news in Pennsylvania. Joining us are WHYY Philadelphia reporter Katie Meyer and David O’Connell, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Political Science, Dickinson College.
