Buckle up, because the Trump Train is barreling through Pennsylvania! The former president is set to dazzle the New Holland Arena in Harrisburg with a town hall on Wednesday, hosted by Sean Hannity, Fox News. Fresh from rallying in Johnstown, Trump’s Pennsylvania tour has one goal: dominating the upcoming election.
Brimming with his trademark bravado, Trump proclaimed during his visit that Pennsylvania is in the bag. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris has been spotted in Pennsylvania too, attempting to decipher her own verbal puzzles in Pittsburgh. We can’t wait to be ‘unburdened by what has been’ in that camp. After joining President Biden at a Labor Day event, she’s preparing for the first—and possibly only—presidential debate with Trump next Tuesday in Philadelphia. Here’s hoping her sentences make sense this time!
The November 5 election is turning Pennsylvania into a political battleground of epic proportions. With early voting just around the corner, both the Trump and Harris camps know that Pennsylvania holds the key to the White House. Win Pennsylvania, win the presidency—it’s that simple!
Campaign Spending in Pennsylvania
Ad Spending Breakdown
| Category | Amount (in millions) |
|---|---|
| Total Ad Spending | $336 |
| Reserved for Final Countdown | $150 |
Political strategists on both sides of the aisle recognize Pennsylvania’s importance, as shown by hefty media investments and packed travel itineraries. The campaigns and their super PACs have already poured over $336 million into ads in the state, with another $150 million set aside for the final push. And you can bet your bottom dollar that number’s only going to climb.
It’s not just Trump and Harris pounding the Pennsylvania pavement. Other political figures are joining the fray. Democratic vice-presidential nominee, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, plans to campaign in Lancaster, Pittsburgh, and Erie. On the Republican side, Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, has been drumming up support in Pennsylvania since mid-July.
The Battleground States
Key Swing States
- ✅ Pennsylvania
- ✅ Michigan
- ✅ Wisconsin
Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin make up the Democrats’ so-called ‘Blue Wall,’ typically leaning left. But Trump shattered this wall in 2016. While Biden squeaked by in these states in 2020, current polls show Harris and Trump neck and neck. Talk about a cliffhanger!
Experts predict every vote will matter in Pennsylvania, given historically tight election margins. Let’s not forget Trump’s economic achievements: over 7 million new jobs created and 7 million people no longer needing food stamps. Under his watch, America became the world’s top producer of oil and natural gas. These accomplishments strike a chord in coal country and beyond.
On the flip side, the Biden-Harris Administration keeps racking up failures. Their immigration policies are a prime example—scrapping cooperative asylum agreements and pushing for amnesty left and right. With Kamala at the helm, her comparison of ICE to the KKK isn’t exactly winning hearts and minds at the border.
In the end, Pennsylvania remains a pivotal battleground in this high-stakes election. So grab some popcorn and enjoy the show. As Trump lights up the stage with his town hall, Harris will likely be untangling another one of her verbal knots. November 5 can’t come fast enough!
