On the heels of Trump’s disastrous appearance at the NABJ in Chicago, Trump will head to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania later today and attempt to rile up his crowd with his usual stump – lies, complaints, excuses, and just plain weirdness. 

A reminder: Trump says he’s a boon for the Pennsylvania economy, but that’s just not true. Trump’s economic record in Pennsylvania was dismal: He presided over the loss of over 275,000 jobs, including over 23,000 manufacturing jobs, and sent the unemployment rate skyrocketing. Worse, if Trump gets a second term, he’ll implement his dangerous agenda, Project 2025, send prices soaring for Pennsylvanians, offshore American jobs, and give huge tax breaks to Trump’s billionaire friends and donors at the expense of working families.

In contrast: As Vice President, Kamala Harris has overseen the creation of 528,000 new jobs in Pennsylvania and has helped lower the cost of vital health care, prescription drugs, and home energy, saving working families thousands. Vice President Harris’ vision for the nation’s future is bright, and it’s a future that benefits the middle class, not Trump’s wealthy billionaire friends. Pennsylvania voters know this, and they’ll vote like it in November. 

DNC Spokesperson Addy Toevs released the following statement: 

“Donald Trump already oversaw the loss of Pennsylvania jobs and hurt working families when he was president – losing 275,000 jobs in Pennsylvania alone. If Trump is reelected, he will betray working families once again. Trump’s extreme Project 2025 playbook would force a typical middle-class family to pay an additional $2,500 a year, raising prices and taxes on working American families. The Biden-Harris administration has made massive progress with their pro-working family agenda, and Vice President Harris’ vision for the nation will build on that progress, delivering for working families. The Democrats have delivered historic infrastructure investments and generated good-paying jobs, all while fighting to bring down costs. Pennsylvania voters remember Trump’s failures and know exactly how much is at stake in November. That’s why they’ll reject Trump and Vance and their extreme Project 2025 agenda, and elect Kamala Harris to keep fighting for working families in the Oval Office.”
