Donald Trump snatched Pennsylvania away from Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, claiming its trove of electoral votes on his way to winning the White House.

The billionaire businessman defied long political odds to become the first Republican presidential candidate to win the state since 1988.

Propelled by white working-class voters in small towns and rural areas, Trump narrowly defeated Democrat Clinton, his victory capping a long, nasty campaign in which both candidates lavished attention on the key battleground.

With Democrats outnumbering Republicans by more than 900,000 voters, Trump managed to flip the traditionally blue state as he closed in on the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the White house.

The fiercely contested presidential race was reflected in close races up and down the Pennsylvania ballot.

Democrats kept their grip on the scandal-marred Pennsylvania attorney’s general’s office, with Josh Shapiro defeating Republican John Rafferty in the race to succeed Kathleen Kane as the state’s top law enforcement officer. Kane resigned in August after she was convicted of leaking secret investigative information and lying about it in a scheme to smear a rival prosecutor.

In countywide voting, Rafferty got 66 percent of the vote, compared to 33 percent for. Shapiro.

The ballot also included statewide races for treasurer and auditor general.

For treasurer, Democrat Joe Torsella downed Republican Otto Voit to fill an office that’s also been marred by corruption. Democrat Rob McCord resigned last year and pleaded guilty to federal extortion charges.

In countywide voting, Voit got 60 percent of the vote, compared to 34 percent for Torsella.

In the race for auditor general, Democrat Eugene DePasquale won re-election against Republican John Brown.

In countywide voting, Brown got 60 percent of the vote, to 35 percent for DePasquale.

Two races for seats in the U.S. House were notable.

Democrat Dwight Evans will replace the resigned and convicted Chaka Fattah in a heavily Democratic congressional district in Philadelphia. Evans won a special election to fill out Fattah’s term and a full two-year term to follow.

Republican Brian Fitzpatrick won a congressional seat in the Philadelphia suburbs — and will replace his brother, Mike Fitzpatrick, who’s retiring.
