Over the weekend, Vivek Ramaswamy made headlines when he crashed a MAGA party in the parking lot at Beaver Stadium before Penn State's football game against Ohio State. The event, hosted by Real America's Voice, saw Ramaswamy, an Ohio native, being cheered upon his arrival.
Despite facing some trash talk from the local Penn State crowd, Ramaswamy embraced the spirit of 'national unity' and expressed his optimism about the outcome of the game. Ultimately, Ohio State emerged victorious with a 20-13 win.
However, the focus of the MAGA crowd seemed to be on the state of former President Trump's potential re-election bid, particularly in Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state. Ramaswamy shared his positive outlook on Trump's chances, citing early voting numbers as a source of encouragement.
In the 2020 election, Democrats led Republicans significantly in early voting in Pennsylvania. Fast forward to the current election cycle, and the early voting statistics show a shift, with a higher percentage of Republicans participating in early voting compared to the previous election.
President Biden narrowly won Pennsylvania in 2020 by a margin of just over 2%. With the state once again playing a pivotal role in the electoral map, the early voting trends are being closely monitored by both political parties.
