On Wednesday, Trump traveled to Scranton, Pennsylvania, where Biden was born, to convince working-class Democrats to vote red.
The former president held a standard rally and encouraged his supporters that, with their votes, they would win the state.
“If we win Pennsylvania we’ll win the whole thing,” Trump told the roaring crowd.
“And your taxes will come down and your safety will go up.”
Trump’s speech centered around energy policies boasted by Harris, as he believes she will cut jobs by banning fracking and shutting down nuclear plants.
Meanwhile the former president proclaimed his plan to make the US a global energy supplier, playfully saying, “drill, baby drill.”
He wishes to encourage oil and gas companies to expand fracking, creating job opportunities for Pennsylvanians.
“We will make Pennsylvania an energy supplier to the entire world,” he said.
Harris encouraged a fracking ban before taking office, but now says she wouldn’t impose restrictions if she is voted president.
Trump said it was “very special to be here” in Pennsylvania, especially after he survived an assassination attempt just hours away.
The former president mourned the loss of Corey Comperatore, a dad who died protecting his family from gunfire at the rally in Butler.
However, he went on to celebrate how his team managed to raise millions for his mourning family.
At one point, Trump went off the teleprompter to commend supporters who bravely held their ground during the shooting.
Trump blasted President Biden and Harris’ rescue efforts in North Carolina after the state was razed by Hurricane Helene.
Pennsylvania is a crucial swing state that Trump barely lost in 2020, sacrificing 20 electoral votes to Biden.
However, recent polling found he’s edged 2 points ahead of his new rival Harris, The Hill reported.
Harris, meanwhile, has taken her campaign to the southwest, where she is preparing to hold a town hall with Spanish-language broadcaster Univision in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The event was initially planned to be in Florida, but had to be postponed because of brutal weather.
Biden is also altering his schedule to stay in the US as Milton blows over, choosing to cancel a trip to Germany and Angola.
