Former President Donald Trump is beginning his campaign trail in battleground states, focusing on issues such as environmental regulations and promising to open more power plants. He is joined by his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, as they travel through states like Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia. Trump’s final rallies will highlight his immigration and economic policies in Arizona, a state crucial for the election.
Pennsylvania is a key battleground state, with Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris running neck-and-neck in most opinion polls. Harris is expected to accept the Democratic nomination at the party’s convention in Chicago, drawing attention away from Trump’s campaign efforts for the moment.
The former president’s promise to roll back EPA regulations and create more jobs through the opening of power plants resonates with his base, as he seeks to solidify support in crucial swing states. The 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be highly competitive, and both candidates are making their case to the American people.
