Don’t be racist, don’t be a bigot , and don’t be a sexist. Fairly elementary stuff

Being an actual Pennsylvanian probably didn’t hurt.

He also comes off as central pa, with his reluctance to dress up. Hoodies and shorts is extremely common dress. His defending his wife against insults against her feels good ole boy, which is central pa

He campaigned in every county in the state, knowing that he wouldn’t have more votes than his opponent in the red counties, but if he picked up enough dem votes there, then with those combined with the blue city votes, he could win. Which is exactly what happened. Because he put in the actual work to talk to (and listen to) Pennsylvanians all across the state.
