Pennsylvania strongly voted for the Republican nominee, President Richard Nixon, over the Democratic nominee, Senator George McGovern. Nixon won Pennsylvania by a large margin of 19.98%, winning every county except for Philadelphia. This result nonetheless was over 3% more Democratic than the nation at-large. As of the 2020 presidential election[update], this is the last election in which Allegheny County voted Republican,[1] as well as the last time when the Republican presidential nominee carried the state by double digits.
