Former President Donald Trump has grown his lead over Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in Pennsylvania’s Republican presidential primary by 12 points since April, according to a Franklin & Marshall College poll, which also finds him to be neck and neck with President Joe Biden in a hypothetical general election.
