Trump set for swing state rout with broad coalition
Former President Trump is poised to sweep the battlegrounds states against Vice President Harris on the back of a political realignment, with Trump harnessing the support of a multi-cultural working class coalition that once elected former President Obama.

- Trump carried Hazelton, Pa., which is nearly two-thirds Hispanic, by 25 points. Clinton carried it by 5 points in 2016.
- Exit polls in Pennsylvania find Trump increasing his Black support to........
