WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump will field questions at his first TV town hall of the 2020 election cycle Thursday in the city that helped to shape a would-be rival, former Vice President Joe Biden.
It will be Trump's first visit this year to Pennsylvania, a battleground state he won by about 44,000 votes in 2016. He did particularly well in northeastern Pennsylvania, where Scranton and Wilkes-Barre have long anchored a strong Democratic presence. Biden's prospects of winning the Democratic nomination have surged in the past week since he won South Carolina and then took 10 of 14 states on Super Tuesday. Even Trump sounded impressed Wednesday when asked about the results, saying, “It was a great comeback for Joe Biden, incredible comeback, when you think about it."
Democrats weren't content to cede the stage. Just ahead of and following the town hall, a political action committee that supports Democratic candidates planned to run a new ad on local Fox affiliates and other local stations featuring a Pennsylvania veteran who voted for Trump in 2016 and no longer supports him. It’s part of American Bridge PAC’s latest $10 million wave of ads in key swing states aimed at cutting into Trump’s margins with white, working-class voters.
