Former President Donald Trump pulled a Grover Cleveland and became only the second person to win two non-consecutive terms as President of the United States.
While Vice President Kamala Harris lost Pennsylvania, she did win Montgomery County. If you drill down even further, you will find she also easily won the four communities regularly covered by AroundAmbler.com (Ambler, Lower Gwynedd, Upper Dublin, and Whitpain).
When we woke up this morning, Montgomery County still had approximately 30,000 absentee and mail-in ballots to count (about 7,000 remain to be counted as of this afternoon).
While winning over Trump in Ambler, Lower Gwynedd, Upper Dublin, and Whitpain, Harris did not equal or surpass Biden’s 2020 vote total in any of these municipalities. Trump did slightly better than his 2020 results, with his biggest improvement coming in Upper Dublin with 628 more votes.
