WATCH LIVE: Trump holds rally in Pennsylvania in effort to win swing state
Sue Ogrocki
Former President Donald Trump is holding a rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night as he courts swing voters in President Joe Biden’s birth state.
Trump, who campaigned in a Philadelphia suburb earlier in the day, is expected to try and woo Latino voters, a key demographic he is hoping to sway ahead of November’s election.
The districts in Lehigh Valley are also highly competitive and include Rep. Susan Wild’s (D-PA) seat.

The former president’s visit to the state comes a few days ahead of Biden’s own visit on Tuesday. Biden is expected to deliver an economic speech at his birthplace of Scranton. The visits also come a couple of weeks ahead of the state’s presidential primaries on April 23. But Trump and Biden have each already won their respective party’s nomination.
Trump is expected to give his remarks at 7 p.m. Eastern time.
