Candidates won't forget Pennsylvania after Tuesday's debate
Published in Political News
WASHINGTON — The Keystone State will be awash in presidential candidates this week.
Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, is departing Pittsburgh this afternoon after days of preparing for Tuesday's debate and heading for Philadelphia, where the event will be held Tuesday evening. Former President Donald Trump, her Republican opponent, is to arrive this afternoon in Philadelphia as well.
Then Harris and President Joe Biden on Wednesday will mark the 23rd anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks by visiting all three sites where the terrorist-hijacked planes crashed — Shanskville, the site of the Flight 93 memorial, Ground Zero at the World Trade Center site in New York City, and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia.
And on Friday, Harris has campaign events scheduled in Johnstown and Wilkes Barre.
On the Republican side, besides the Philadelphia debate, Trump is to be in Pennsylvania Sept. 23, when he is scheduled to address the Protecting America Initiative in Smithton, Westmoreland County.
The anti-China group's senior advisers are Richard Grenell, who served as acting director of national intelligence under Trump, and former U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., who was one of the former president's strongest backers on Capitol Hill.
