12. The primary targets of Trump's campaign were the swing states.

I read that Trump's campaign spent $400 million in PA. A lot of that was in the form of TV ads.

In PA, political signs are effective. A significant portion of the electorate wants to be on the winning side. As another DUer pointed out in another thread, a landscape of ubiquitous political signs for a particular candidate creates a bandwagon effect which builds off of itself. Harris lost PA by about 130k votes. The large known cash investment by Trump's campaign, plus laundered-in money from Putin, bolstered Trump's chances considerably.
