Pennsylvania, one of the race states for the presidential election, is considered a key destination with 19 electors.

Public sentiment here, a microcosm of American public sentiment, is unpredictable, and attention is being paid to what will be the "Octover Surprise," which means a major variable just before the presidential election.

Yes, it's in front of Philadelphia City Hall, Pennsylvania's largest city.

How is the atmosphere of local public sentiment after covering all parts of the local site today?

[Reporter]
Yes, Pennsylvania public sentiment is very close in the polls, but there are regional differences.

Downtown areas like Philadelphia are dominated by Democrats and suburbs by Republicans.

Pennsylvania has the highest number of electors among the seven contested states, with 19.

That's why it's considered the biggest battleground that will determine the outcome in the U.S. presidential election.

Yesterday, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and former President Trump's vice presidential candidate, Senator JD Vance, were both there.

Experts believe Pennsylvania is likely to be the "tipping point state," which will determine the majority of the 538 electors in the presidential election, or 270.

Wall Street Journal says Harris wins Pennsylvania with 12 winning combinations, 6 winning combinations for Trump,

If Trump wins Pennsylvania, there are 26 winning scenarios and 13 winning combinations for Harris.

Do you want to hear from the people of Pennsylvania?

[Brian / Pennsylvania resident] Phew, I hope I can predict it. It depends on how the Philadelphia vs. the rest of the world plays out.]

[Fred / Pennsylvania resident] There's a big difference in voting tendencies between urban and suburban voters. Voters in the city are likely to support Harris.]

As the U.S. presidential election is so close, attention is being paid to what the "Octover Surprise," which means a critical variable just before the presidential election, will be?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

So far, the case in which Trump's personnel called U.S. Puerto Rico a "trash island" is considered a candidate for the "Octover Surprise."

This is because there are 6 million Puerto Ricans in the United States, second only to Mexico among Hispanics, and more than 400,000 in Pennsylvania alone.

Let's hear from a Hispanic resident.

[Emmanuel / Hispanic American: I want a president who helps Hispanic voters move forward.]

As a result, Harris and Trump are focusing on winning votes from Puerto Rico.

Meanwhile, Koreans in Pennsylvania are also actively seeking to increase their influence in American society.

Let's listen to it for ourselves.

[Park Sang-ik / Head of the Korean People's Political Participation Alliance: Rather than dividing sides, all Korean voters, whether Democrats or Republicans, will vote this time if possible.]

[Kim Jong-sun / Korean Association Ambassador: I hope the president will be a person who helps Korea's national interests. We'll raise our voices a lot, too.]

Pennsylvania ruled in favor of President Biden in the last presidential election and Trump in 2016, four years before that.

U.S. citizens are expected to watch Pennsylvania's choice with more tension than ever in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, which will be a mixed race until the end.
