Southwestern Pennsylvania is a critical part of a key battleground state which Democrats hope to keep after its candidate there won in 2020
Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris walks to board Air Force Two at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, Friday, Aug. 16, 2024, in Morrisville, N.C., after a campaign event.Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz will campaign by bus in southwestern Pennsylvania on Sunday, hoping to ride the wave of enthusiasm her candidacy has brought to the presidential race to their party’s nominating convention in Chicago this week.
Southwestern Pennsylvania is a critical part of a key battleground state that has long commanded the attention of presidential candidates. The state voted for the Republican presidential candidate in 2016 and for the Democratic candidate in 2020. Both Harris and Trump are vying to see who can put Pennsylvania in their column on Nov. 5.
The bus tour will be Harris’ eighth trip to Pennsylvania this year, and her second this month. The vice president’s Aug. 6 announcement that Walz would be her running mate came hours before their first joint appearance as a ticket later that day in Philadelphia. “It makes sense to come here and ask for votes because there are votes up for grabs here,” Kanthak said of Harris. “It’s not just about turning out your base. It’s about having an opportunity to speak to truly undecided voters.”
Biden assiduously courted the area’s blue-collar labour unions, kicking off his 2020 presidential campaign at a Teamsters hall in Pittsburgh by declaring, “I am a union man.” As president, he opposed the acquisition of Pittsburgh’s storied U.S. Steel by a Japanese company, saying it “should remain totally American,” and enacted steeper tariffs on Chinese steel.Trump, who is counting on strong turnout from his base of white, working-class voters, is not conceding the area.
