The White House awaits the next American president. The polls are close and the race appears divided nationally in Swing States. Former President Donald Trump, as you might expect, is boasting a victory in his final rounds before election day on Tuesday, November 5.

Trump is “obsessed with revenge, consumed by grievances and seeking unchecked power,” Harris said at a rally in Harrisburg last week.

As Trump and Harris continue to rally supporters in the Keystone State, Pennsylvania voters in largest battlefield state are present in force as polling day approaches.

“I worry about the risks that (Trump) will pose to our economy in the future if he is able to do what he says he wants to do,” Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro told reporters after a event last Friday. “The type of tariffs he wants to put in place are really going to hurt the economy of southwest Pennsylvania.”
