President Donald Trump will hold a rally in President Joe Biden’s hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday.
The event will be held at Riverfront Sports at 3:00 p.m. Eastern, according to an announcement from the Trump campaign.
“Hardworking Pennsylvanians need a break. Under Kamala Harris, prices have risen by over 20 percent and real wages have declined. In an increasingly rough job market, Americans are racking up historic credit card debt to pay off rising grocery, gas, and utility bills,” the Trump campaign’s statement read.
“That’s why President Trump has pledged to eliminate taxes on overtime and tips, as well as on Social Security, to put money back in the pockets of everyday Americans,” it continued.
Trump is also scheduled to hold another rally at the Santander Arena in Reading, Pennsylvania at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday in Berks County.
“Combined with President Trump’s agenda and vision to unleash an American renaissance of strong job and economic growth by cutting regulations, re-working lopsided trade deals, and unleashing American energy to cut utility bills in half, no taxes on overtime and tips will allow American workers to once again enjoy prosperity and financial stability,” the campaign statement added.
“Only a Trump-Vance administration will put the American Worker first and Make America Wealthy and Great Again,” it concluded.
Daniel Naylor, the chairman for the Republican Party in Lackawanna County, also stressed the importance of the Pennsylvania counties in a statement to the Times-Tribune.
“Lackawanna and Luzerne are two of the key counties for Donald Trump to win not only Pennsylvania but the presidency, and that’s why he’s coming here,” Naylor stated.
Trump recently returned for a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, to the same site where he was shot during an assassination attempt at a campaign rally nearly three months ago.
Drawing “Over 100,000” attendees, the Trump campaign posted Saturday to X, the Butler rally also garnered 28.6 million views on the president’s own X account, as of Sunday afternoon, RSBN previously reported.
During the rally, Trump was joined by guests including SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, vice presidential running mate Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, Pennsylvania GOP Senate nominee Dave McCormick, musician Lee Greenwood, members of the Trump family and many others.
He was also joined by the family members of Corey Comperatore, who was tragically killed during the July 13 Butler rally shooting, and David Dutch, who was wounded in the assassination attempt made against the president.
