Trump Courts Scranton: The Battle for Blue-Collar Votes in Pennsylvania

Donald Trump is targeting blue-collar voters in Pennsylvania with rallies, especially in Scranton, to win critical electoral votes. With a tight race against Kamala Harris, both campaigns are intensifying efforts. Economic policies are central to Trump's pitch as polls show the economy as a key voter concern.

Donald Trump, a Republican presidential candidate, is intensifying his campaign efforts in Pennsylvania, targeting the state's blue-collar voters. With rallies in places like Scranton, the hometown of President Joe Biden, Trump hopes to win over traditionally Democratic strongholds.

Scranton, pivotal for Biden's origin story, was crucial in his 2020 election success. However, Trump's persistent visits and economic promises aim to sway voters. His economic agenda, including import tariffs and job creation, resonates with many in the working-class.

Polls indicate the economy is the top concern for voters, with some showing Trump gaining ground. As both Trump and Kamala Harris vie for Pennsylvania’s crucial electoral votes, their campaigns feature high-profile supporters to rally voter support ahead of the November election.
