Pennsylvania will be a major swing state that former President Donald Trump will target for campaigning at the end of this week as part of an excursion through three key locales needed for him to win the election.
Trump will hit both Michigan and Wisconsin on Thursday to stump for his election again. Then on Friday he'll descend on Johnstown in Southwest Pennsylvania. Trump will hold a rally in a hall in Johnstown.
A news release issued by the Trump campaign said the former president plans to hit Democratic Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris hard on the issue of natural resources.
"Since Harris and (President Joe) Biden took office, Kamala Harris has turned her back on everyday Pennsylvanians and broken one promise after another. In 2019, Kamala said that there's 'no question I'm in favor' of banning fracking; in 2020, after becoming Biden's VP nominee, she flip-flopped to say she wouldn't ban fracking," the Team Trump news release said. "And as soon as she took power, the Harris-Biden administration reverted back to Kamala's 2019 position and cracked down on fracking and American energy, wrecking Pennsylvania's energy workers and driving up the price of a gallon of gas to record high."
Johnstown is key to natural resource production in the area south of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. Trump will campaign in the city and argue that Harris would destroy more jobs in that region.
"President Trump knows that Pennsylvania cannot take another four years of a dangerously incompetent and dangerously liberal Kamala Harris. A Trump- (JD) Vance administration will Make America Great Again by unleashing American drilling to halve energy costs, halting the migrant invasion on our southern border, and restoring America's rightful standing and respect on the world stage," the Trump campaign news release said.
The Pennsylvania stump speech Friday afternoon will come after two campaign stops Thursday in Potterville, Michigan at a factory during that afternoon and a town hall meeting Trump will hold in La Crosse, Wisconsin Thursday night.
Trump is increasing the tour through those three Rust-belt states as they are critical to winning enough electoral college votes to clinch the presidency. Trump lost all three in 2020 on his way to losing the election that year to Joe Biden. But Trump won all three, which some refer to as the "Blue Wall" for it's traditional Democratic-leaning voting bloc backed up by heavy labor unions and blue color workforce.
