Vice President Harris visited Pennsylvania with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Governor Josh Shapiro before Election Day. They stopped at the Old San Juan Café in Reading, where supporters cheered as Harris arrived. The vice president spoke with diners and enjoyed a meal, expressing how busy she had been campaigning. The café owner, Diana de La Rosa, was thrilled to have Harris visit her business and praised the vice president for supporting women in business.
Harris also took the time to canvass with supporters in Reading, knocking on doors and engaging with the community. This visit was part of Harris’s campaign stops in Allentown, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia, highlighting the importance of Pennsylvania in the election.
On the other hand, Trump spent his final campaign day in North Carolina and Michigan but also made stops in Reading and Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania is a crucial battleground state with the most Electoral College votes, making it a significant prize for both candidates. A victory in Pennsylvania could pave the way to the White House for either candidate.
The collaboration between Harris, Ocasio-Cortez, and other Democratic figures in Pennsylvania showcases the importance of key battleground states in the election. The efforts to engage with voters directly through door knocking and community visits demonstrate the dedication of the candidates and their teams in the final moments leading up to Election Day.
