00:00Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state that could hold the keys to the White House, is getting

00:06set for a neck-and-neck contest in the U.S. presidential election.

00:09With two weeks to go before the polls, both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have become

00:15fixtures in America's largest battleground state.

00:18With its 19 electoral votes, Pennsylvania is the largest prize of the most important

00:24swing states.

00:25Pennsylvania is a state that went for Trump in 2016, went for Biden in 2020.

00:33It's got a lot of white working-class voters.

00:36So it's got large urban centers, rural communities.

00:41So Pennsylvania serves as sort of a microcosm of the country as a whole, I think, in many

00:46ways.

00:47The winner of the last two presidential elections in the state won by just tens of thousands

00:52of votes.

00:54I think it's split pretty even-even right now.

00:57Half of my friends are voting for Kamala and the other half are voting for Trump.

01:02So if that's any indication, then I think it's a pretty tight race here.

01:06It's really going to be, you know, literally on Election Day, does it rain?

01:10Is it sunny?

01:11And who's knocking on doors and who's most excited about their candidate and going to

01:17the polls for them?

01:19Voters in the U.S. go to the polls on November 5.

01:22With polls showing the race essentially tied here, once again, it could be the state that

01:27tips the election.
