Kamala Harris used a rally in Pennsylvania on Monday to succinctly explain why voters must cast their ballots for her and not her opponent starting November 5th: Donald Trump is a dangerous lunatic who should never again be allowed within 1,000 feet of the White House.

After playing a clip on Election Day in which Trump said the military should be used against people who don’t support him, Harris told the crowd in Erie County, Pennsylvania: “A second Trump term would be a great risk to America .” And dangerous. Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and unhinged. And he is looking for uncontrolled power.”

While a new one new York Just/Philadelphia Investigators/A Siena College poll showed that the vice president is three points ahead of the former president in Pennsylvania, and a victory in the battleground state is anything but certain. When Harris spoke at the rally last night, he told the crowd, “Erie County, you are an important county! How you all vote in presidential elections often ends up predicting the national outcome.” (Erie County has voted for the winner in each of the last four presidential elections.) Senator John Fetterman, who won the county by nine points in 2022, told the assembled group, “You are voting for president!” And while reminding everyone that in the 2020 contest “Joe Biden Fetterman also warned that it wouldn’t be easy to beat Trump there again.

Speaking to reporters before the rally, the Democratic senator said: “Trump has a very unique and special connection there (in rural Pennsylvania), and that’s why he’s going to have an incredibly difficult time.” Fetterman noted the many rural counties filled with pro-Trump Signs and explained: “It’s something like a Taylor Swift Concert where you have so much swag that it goes beyond a typical kind of politics.”

But Fetterman also argued that it doesn’t make or break Harris in rural parts of the state. “Sometimes it’s not about turning these counties blue,” he said. “They’re not going to change the culture of rural Pennsylvania. It’s about reaching accessible people. I would be surprised if she won by three points. She will win Pennsylvania, but I expect it to be closer.”
