While Harris beat Trump in Philadelphia, he out-performed the number of votes he got in 2020 against Mr. Biden.
Trump increased his total number of votes in Philadelphia from 132,870 in 2020 to 141,203 as of Wednesday night in the 2024 race.
In 2020, Trump only won three wards in Philly -- the 26th, 58th and 66th.
How did Trump do against Harris in the Philadelphia suburbs?
The Trump and Harris campaigns each spent considerable amounts of time in Philadelphia and the city's four surrounding counties leading up to the 2024 election.
Although Trump only won one county out of the five, he was able to get enough votes in southeastern Pennsylvania to win the state decisively.
Votes are still being counted in Pennsylvania, but if Trump's lead holds, he would become the first Republican presidential nominee to win in Bucks County in over 35 years. The last time a Republican presidential candidate carried the county was President George H.W. Bush in 1988. Unofficial election results posted by the Bucks County Board of Elections online show Trump beat Harris in the county by just 512 votes.
Meanwhile, Harris won Delaware, Montgomery and Chester Counties, but Trump increased his voting numbers in each county surrounding Philadelphia compared to the 2020 election, according to the state's unofficial results.
Trump saw the biggest increase in votes in Montgomery County. Harris won the county with 309,521 votes (60.8%) as of Wednesday night, while Trump got 193,958 votes.
That's 8,419 more than the 185,460 votes he got in 2020. Mr. Biden received 319,511 votes in Montgomery County in the 2020 election.
