Trump to Hold Rally in ‘Swing County’ Erie, PA Next Saturday
President Trump will hold a campaign rally in Erie, Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 29. Trump last appeared in Erie at an airport rally in October during the 2020 reelection campaign. The 2024 winner-take-all Republican presidential primary in Pennsylvania is scheduled for April 23.
The latest poll on Pennsylvania, taken in June, shows Trump leading nearest competitor Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida by 24 points: 49 to 25 percent support. Trump won Erie County in 2016 by just under 2000 votes (Erie voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012–Reagan in 1984 was the last Republican presidential candidate to carry Erie), but Biden took it in 2020 by less than 1,500 votes. Trump led Biden the day after the November 3rd election by almost 15,000 votes.
