Former President Donald Trump made a campaign stop in the battleground state of Pennsylvania for the second time in recent days. During his visit to a manufacturing plant in York, Pennsylvania, Trump addressed employment and energy policy.
“I stand for American energy independence and manufacturing dominance,” he declared. Trump expressed his support for the development of small modular nuclear reactors and promised to approve more energy projects if elected president.
He also vowed to eliminate a Biden-era rule that restricts emissions from fossil fuel power plants, referring to it as Kamala’s ‘power plant rule’ and calling it a disaster for the country.

Trump’s Pennsylvania visit kicks off a week of intense campaigning, focusing on key issues in contested states to counter the Democratic National Convention. His upcoming stops include discussing crime and safety in Michigan, national security in North Carolina, and immigration in Arizona.
His campaign aims to highlight the contrast between President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in addressing voter concerns. Campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung emphasized Trump’s focus on inflation, border security, and crime, contrasting it with Harris’s avoidance of press engagements.
