Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a rally in President Joe Biden's home state of Pennsylvania on Saturday, just days before the start of his hush money trial in New York City. The ex-president and 2024 White House presidential candidate will address supporters at the Schnecksville Fire Hall in Lehigh County, with plans to also attend a fundraiser in nearby Bucks County. This marks Trump's third visit to the state this year as he gears up for the 2024 elections in November.
Trump, who previously won Pennsylvania in 2016 but lost to Biden in 2020, will be making a strategic appearance in a state that holds significance for both candidates. Biden, a Scranton native, is set to deliver remarks in his hometown on taxes, emphasizing the importance of tax policies that benefit the middle class. Meanwhile, Trump has been vocal about his stance on the tax code, positioning himself as a champion for working-class Americans.
During a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, Trump confirmed that he will be testifying in his hush money trial in New York City. Despite labeling the trial as a 'scam' and a 'witch hunt,' Trump expressed his commitment to telling the truth. The trial revolves around allegations that Trump falsified business records to conceal a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.
The upcoming rally and trial proceedings underscore the ongoing political and legal battles involving the former President as he navigates the road to the 2024 elections. Stay tuned for further updates on these developments.
