Donald Trump held a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday, his fourth campaign stop in a month in what has become the 2024 campaign's most hotly contested state.
The former president had begun addressing supporters in Erie, in Pennsylvania's northwest corner, shortly after 2 p.m. local time (1800 GMT). His rally comes one month to the day after his running mate, U.S. Senator JD Vance, held his own event in the lakeside city, and six days before Trump is due to hold another rally in western Pennsylvania, on October 5.
Many allies and informal advisers to Trump privately characterize Pennsylvania as the most important of the battleground states in the November 5 election.
Of the seven competitive states that both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival, have a realistic shot at winning, Pennsylvania is the most populous and awards the most votes in the Electoral College, which in turn is used to select the overall winner of the election.
Trump allies broadly believe that if the former president beats Harris there, he is likely to return to the White House. But if Trump loses to Harris in Pennsylvania, the vice president has the inside track.
