Donald Trump made his pitch to Pennsylvania voters last night, telling them they had to vote for him even if they didn’t want to, which isn’t generally considered a winning campaign strategy.
In a town hall with Fox News in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, former president Claimed State voters should go with them because Kamala Harris would ban fracking—which, it turns out, isn’t actually true. After the host Sean Hannity Playing an old clip of Harris saying she supported a ban on the practice, Trump responded: “She’s going to do it. There’s no way she’s going to allow it. There’s going to be an election — if she wins, you’re not going to have a conflict in Pennsylvania. You have There are 500,000 jobs. That’s your biggest business, and you get a lot of your income from fracking. You can’t take a chance on that. You have no choice. You have to vote for me. Even if you don’t like me, you can sit there and say, ‘I can’t face that guy, but there’s no way I’m going to vote for him.’

While Harris previously said that, in 2019, she would ban fracking, she has since declared that she would not do so as president. In an interview with CNN Dana Bash Last week, the vice president said: “What I’ve seen is that we can grow, and we can grow, a clean-energy economy without banning fracking.”
Trump, a former representative, spoke about whether or not to vote Liz Chaney, Eldest daughter of a lifelong Republican and former vice president Dick Cheney, said yesterday evening at Duke University that she would not only refuse to vote for Trump in November, but that she would vote for Harris. Cheney in conversation with students at the school Explained It’s not enough to not vote for the GOP candidate. “I don’t believe we have the luxury of write-in candidates, especially in swing states,” she said. “As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I’ve thought deeply about this—and because of the threat of Donald Trump, I’m not just voting for Donald Trump, I’m voting for Kamala. Harris.”
Cheney was one of two Republicans, the other a former representative Adam Kinzinger, who sat on the January 6 committee that investigated Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the subsequent attack on the Capitol. So he knows little about the dangers of giving Trump another term in office. Still, it was far from a sure thing that she would fully support Harris; on tuesday, Pat Toomey, A former GOP senator from Pennsylvania, said he would not endorse either candidate. “When you lose an election and you try to overturn the results so you can stay in power, you lose me — that’s when you lose me,” Toomey told CNBC. “It is an acceptable position for me to say that none of these candidates would be my choice for president.” Clearly, Cheney doesn’t think that’s going very far.
