Reason 1, he's from Philadelphia, a place the rest of the commonwealth's citizens dislike and resent.
Reason 2, he's AfAm, see Reason 1
Reason 3, he's not heterosexual, Reason 1
Reason 4, PA has never even elected a heterosexual white woman to the Senate, most recently rejecting Katie McGinty in 2016.
Reason 5, eastern PA voters don't vote in the same percentage as western PA voters despite making up a larger share of the state electorate.

Yes, times are changing, but much more slowly outside of SE Pa and Allegheny county.
