Donald Trump’s His victory Tuesday night in his quest for a second presidential term was largely the result of a shift in the political coalitions that make up the Republican and Democratic voter bases, and the Harrisburg metro area was not immune.

Some early analysis of exit polls and voting data show some trendsOverall, Trump and Republicans have gained ground in rural areas, national observers said, while also largely eroding Democrats’ advantage over young and/or men of color.

Vice President Kamala Harris continued to take a larger share highly educated white voters and suburban areas – but not enough to offset Trump’s advances in other demographics.

These patterns can be seen locally. In 2020, nearly all of the Harrisburg metro’s suburban counties moved sharply to the left, giving a larger share of their votes for President Joe Biden than they did for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

In 2024, this change has slowed significantly. Harris made slight gains over Biden in the suburbs, which are growing with the arrival of well-educated and wealthier people. In more modest suburbs it generally lost ground, although these changes were generally not dramatic.

Harris has also narrowed the gap with Trump in some rural or exurban counties that are predominantly Republican, possibly as part of a trend where retirement ages are starting to drift away from the GOP.

But most obvious of all was that Trump was gaining ground in Harrisburg itself and its less wealthy, more racially diverse suburbs; This was the largest change ever observed at the district level.

Even at the district level, the difference is clear. In Cumberland County, Trump won about 54% of the vote this year, while Harris received 44.32%; That’s a difference of about 9.5 points. But this is actually a worse performance than four years ago, when Trump led Biden by 10.5 points.

In Dauphin County, where there are far fewer white people, Trump trailed Harris this year by a 5.5-point margin. But it’s a notable improvement for him compared to 2020, when Biden led Dauphin County by 8.5 points.
