Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – Running mate Minnesota Gov. Kamala Harris and vice president Kamala Harris. On Sunday, the eve of the Democratic National Convention kickoff, Tim Walz barnstormed across western Pennsylvania.
Less than twenty-four hours prior, during a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania’s northeastern corner, former President Trump declared, “I love Pennsylvania.”.
Campaign trail traffic to and from Pennsylvania has been and will continue to be heavy. It’s the biggest prize among the seven battleground states that will probably determine the outcome of the presidential election, with 19 electoral votes up for grabs.
In Pennsylvania, Trump declared on Saturday, “We’re winning by a lot.”.
TRUMP’S RUNNING MATE VANCE INTENDS TO WRITE RED IN THE BLUE WALL STATES.
However, since Harris took President Biden’s spot at the top of the Democratic ticket for 2024 four weeks ago, an average of all Pennsylvania polls suggests that the race is evenly divided.
Furthermore, the Keystone State has been heavily emphasized in both campaigns.
Harris declared Walz her running mate and made Philadelphia the first stop on her first swing through the battleground states.
Additionally, Trump and Sen. On Monday, they will both be back in Pennsylvania for different economic events, including JD Vance of Ohio.
Trump and Harris are trading blows in the fight for the Blue Wall States.
Pennsylvania is part of the so-called “blue wall” that the Democrats have consistently won in presidential elections for the past 25 years, along with Michigan and Wisconsin. In 2016, Trump barely won all three states to win the presidency.
However, Biden defeated Trump and took the presidency four years later in 2020 after winning all three by extremely narrow margins.
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff and first lady of Minnesota Gwen Walz, along with their spouses, are seen with Harris and Walz on Sunday. According to the Harris campaign, the bus tour left Pittsburgh’s airport and is stopping in Allegheny and Beaver counties, which are regarded as swing areas in the battleground state.
Pennsylvania has been a major investment for both campaigns, with large sums spent on outreach and advertisements.
However, the Harris campaign boasts that their infrastructure for getting out the vote and grassroots outreach—36 coordinated offices with the state party and the Democratic National Committee—far outweighs that of the Trump-Vance campaign in Pennsylvania.
Not only will the candidates make numerous stops in Pennsylvania between now and November, but on September 20 at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, there will be what is probably going to be the first—and maybe the only—debate between Harris and Trump. In 10.
