In a historic turn of events, Donald Trump has officially flipped Bucks County, Pennsylvania, a longtime Democratic stronghold, into the Republican column for the first time since 1988.
Final numbers confirm that Trump narrowly edged out Kamala Harris in the county, with 198,722 votes (49.39%) compared to Harris’s 198,431 votes (49.32%). The victory marks a pivotal shift in the political landscape of Bucks County, which had reliably supported Democratic candidates in every presidential election for over three decades.

We’re immensely proud of our committee members, volunteers, and grassroots groups that all worked together to achieve this historic victory!”
