### Trump and Harris Campaigns Intensify Efforts in Pennsylvania as Election Day Approaches

With less than two weeks remaining until Election Day, the 2024 presidential candidates are focusing their attention on maximizing support in battleground states such as Pennsylvania. Former President Donald Trump is gearing up for a busy Sunday in the Commonwealth, following his rally in Latrobe on Saturday. Trump will host a town hall at 5 p.m. at the Lancaster Convention Center, where his campaign indicates he will address key issues like inflation, job growth, and fracking.

Earlier in the day, Trump is set to stop at a McDonald's in Feasterville, Bucks County around 1:30 p.m. Crowds have already started gathering at the location on 334 E Street Road, eager to catch a glimpse of the former president. Trump's previous visit to Pennsylvania was on October 14 for a town hall in Oaks, near Philadelphia, which ended unexpectedly when two attendees required medical attention.

Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, U.S. Representative Byron Donalds of Florida will support the Trump-Vance campaign by hosting a Black Men's Barbershop Talk Roundtable at 4 p.m. The discussion will focus on economic hardships, community safety, and the adverse effects of Vice President Kamala Harris' policies on the Black community. The roundtable aims to provide a platform for Black men to share their experiences and interact directly with community leaders.

Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker will also take to the campaign trail for Vice President Kamala Harris in North Philly. Joining her will be New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain. They will highlight the importance of Pennsylvania as a battleground state and critique Trump's Project 2025 agenda, particularly its implications for labor unions.

On Monday, Vice President Harris will team up with former Congresswoman Liz Cheney for an event in Chester County, kicking off a series of moderated discussions across three battleground states. Harris and Cheney will initially speak in Pennsylvania before heading to Wisconsin and Michigan. According to the Harris-Walz campaign, these talks will outline Harris' vision for the future if she is elected.
