US President Donald Trump opted for a rally in Pennsylvania while Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden holed up for prep, in the lead-up to the final presidential debate
President Donald Trump waves as he walks off stage after a campaign rally at Erie International Airport, Tom Ridge Field, Tuesday, October 20, 2020, in Erie, Pennsylvania.
“This is an election between a Trump super recovery and a Biden depression. You will have a depression the likes of which you have never seen,” the president said in Erie. “If you want depression, doom and despair, vote for Sleepy Joe. And boredom." But Trump will likely need to run up the score by more this time around as his prospects have slipped since 2016 in vote-rich suburban Philadelphia, where he underperformed by past Republican measures.This raises the stakes for his campaign’s more aggressive outreach to new rural and small-town voters across the industrial north.
The issue is critical in a state that is the second leading producer of natural gas in the country. Biden’s actual position is that he would ban new gas and oil permits, including for fracking, on federal lands only. The vast majority of oil and gas does not come from federal lands.
