Pennsylvania last voted for a Republican for president in 1988. Trump repeatedly campaigned there, believing his populist message would resonate with the state’s working-class voters.

Voters eager to shake up the nation’s political establishment picked the celebrity businessman to become the nation’s 45th president.
