Overall in Pennsylvania, the Times reports Biden has 66,000 estimated donors compared to Trump's 45,000. Pennsylvania is Biden's home state.

The Philadelphia suburbs recently saw a heavy shift toward voting Democrat with many areas, such as Delaware County, voting in an entirely Democratic county council.

In 2016, suburban Philadelphia was considered a bellwether for the general election.

Trump won 2,970,733 — or 48.18 percent — of the vote in Pennsylvania. Hillary Clinton won 2,926,441 votes — or 47.46 percent — in Pennsylvania.

If the suburbs are still considered a bellwether for November's results, the donor data leans heavily in favor of Biden.
