Trump’s Rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania –
Donald Trump is heading to northeastern Pennsylvania to rally voters in a crucial battleground state. He is targeting conservative, white working-class voters, hoping to secure their support near President Joe Biden’s hometown.
In past elections, Trump dominated in the county that houses Wilkes-Barre, a blue-collar town in the Rust Belt region, where Biden hails from Scranton. Trump’s focus on this area serves to highlight Democratic vulnerabilities, particularly after Biden’s withdrawal from the race and the subsequent launch of Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign.
As Democrats gear up for their national convention in Chicago next week, Trump is taking aim at Harris, linking her to the administration’s economic challenges and criticizing her proposed policies. Trump’s visit to Pennsylvania underscores the state’s importance in the upcoming election, especially in light of the shifting political landscape.
