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

Trump’s visit kicks off a week of intense campaigning to counter the Democratic National Convention, focusing on critical issues in key states.
He is set to address crime and safety in Michigan on Tuesday, national security in North Carolina on Wednesday, and immigration in Arizona on Thursday.
The campaign aims to highlight the contrast between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in addressing important voter concerns.
“President Trump has been vocal about issues such as sky-high inflation, the border crisis, and rising crime, while Kamala Harris avoids the spotlight,” stated Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung.
