When Trump won PA he won. The one state where we know people stayed home because of Gaza was Michigan and it would have caused a win for Trump if they had gotten to that point. But Michigan effectively didn’t even get a chance to count because Pennsylvania’s electoral votes put Trump over the line on their own.
Realistically they had to defend PA. Georgia and North Carolina were always a long shot and the only way the Democrats could survive losing Pennsylvania. PA landed Trump his 270th EC vote.
It’s electoral vote math. PA filled the exact amount they needed. None of the actual swing states mattered if PA went red. And I say actual swing states because Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida were only swing states on entertainment outlets cosplaying as news. On the inverse, the Democrats didn’t have a path to victory without Pennsylvania. There just weren’t enough other Electrical College votes available.
No entirely.

There are many ways she could have won with modest gains in other states.

That’s timing that has nothing to do with vote distribution.
