Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are in the stretch run of the 2024 election.
The election couldn’t be closer.
But Donald Trump told Sean Hannity he would win the election for one simple reason.
Donald Trump says Kamala Harris will kill Pennsylvania’s economy
Donald Trump attended a town hall event in Pennsylvania hosted by Sean Hannity.
Pennsylvania is the tipping point battleground on the Electoral College map.
Whichever candidate wins Pennsylvania is likely to win the election.
And Donald Trump thinks he has a secret weapon.
That’s Kamala Harris’ promise to ban fracking.
Fracking is a key economic driver in Pennsylvania and an industry that employs 500,000 workers.
Trump told voters in Pennsylvania that a vote for Kamala Harris was playing Russian Roulette with their commonwealth’s economic future.
“Pennsylvania can’t take the chance that that answer is true,” Trump stated.
Trump argued Kamala Harris was merely playing rope a dope during the election to cover up her true intentions.
Once Kamala Harris won, Trump warned she would rip off the mask and proceed full steam ahead on the Green New Deal and her fracking ban.
“She will do that. There’s no chance she’s gonna allow it. The election will take place, if she won, you’re not gonna have any fracking in Pennsylvania. You have 500,000 jobs. Think of that, it’s your biggest business, and you get a big majority of your income from fracking, and you have somebody that’s not gonna allow fracking. She’s not gonna allow it. You can’t take the chance. You have no choice. You’ve gotta vote for me. You’ve gotta vote for me. Even if you don’t like me!” Trump added.
Trump even spoke to concerns held by many voters who just simply don’t like Trump personally, making the case that even if they don’t care for Trump’s personality or antics, their lives will be better off with Trump’s policies.
“Even if you don’t like me, you can sit there and say, ‘I can’t stand that guy, but there’s no way I’m gonna vote for her.’ No, you have to have fracking. You know, you’re the biggest in the country for this. You have two of the biggest sites in the world. It’s a massive business for Pennsylvania and you can’t take a chance,” Trump continued.
“She will not allow fracking, and she’s got a lot of other problems too,” Trump concluded.
Kamala Harris’ hollow promise
In a CNN interview with supporter Dana Bash, Kamala Harris tried to walk back her support for a ban on fracking.
“What I have seen is that we can grow, and we can increase a clean energy economy without banning fracking,” Kamala Harris stated.
But Kamala Harris also told Bash that “my values haven’t changed.”
Donald Trump and his campaign argued that statement is a giant red flag that Kamala Harris is just saying whatever she thinks she needs to win over the several hundred thousand swing voters in battleground states like Pennsylvania that will decide the election.
And when Kamala Harris says that her values remain the same, that means the principles that led her to want to ban fracking in the first place will guide her decision making process.
