Because the race in PA is so tight and because Trump's major campaign strategy now is demonizing immigrants, he has taken his Springfield, OH tactcs to PA and once again his claims about Haitian immigrants are a pack of lies:
Trump's repugnant new claims about immigrants in another small town"Charleroi, in southwestern Pennsylvania"expose the ugly underbelly of that zero-sum messaging in a fresh way. At a rally near Pittsburgh on Monday, Trump unleashed a volley of new attacks on Haitian arrivals to Charleroi, and used them to launch a broader argument about Pennsylvania, insisting that its towns and villages have been "inundated." In an interview, Charleroi Borough Manager Joe Manning flatly said that Trump's claims are false or simply do not apply to his town in any sense. "There's what the former president is saying," Manning told me, "and then there's easily observable reality."

Governor Shapiro talks about Kamala Harris' chances of winning Pennsylvania and responds to Trump's attacks on Haitians in the state, which Shapiro calls "utter --------."

#3 Yeas, Shapiro says it's basically a tie in the article I linked to above:
Sargent: Governor, as of today, the polling averages have Harris ahead 1.3 points in your state. That's incredibly close. What's your sense? As of now, is Harris leading in Pennsylvania, even if it's by an extremely slim margin, or is it functionally a tie? Shapiro: I mean, look, it's probably functionally a tie. But hear me on this, because I think some context is really important. The last two presidential races, Greg, came down to 44,000 votes and 80,000 votes to put that in some context for your viewers and listeners. That's a point or less. So whether it's statistically a tie or it's one point, the reality is the races here come down to a few tens of thousands of votes. Now, I'd rather be us than them. Let me explain why. Let me offer a little bit of meat on the bone there to back up my statement. Kamala Harris is playing on his side of the field right now. She's showing up in rural communities and getting some really positive feedback. I'm seeing, anecdotally, more signs, more volunteers, more people willing to join the Harris campaign in the communities that are those swing areas or the swing counties. And while you got to pick up those last few yards and get in the end zone"and those last few yards are really tough here in Pennsylvania"I think we've got momentum and I'd rather be us than them in this battle.

Given the margins of error in the cited polls, I'd say that Pennsylvania is a tie.
Looking at the chart, though... if VP Harris can keep up the current trend, will her campaign break out of the MoE by Election Day?
My current guess: a definite "possibly."
:)

Facts are an inconvenience for Trumpers.
Don't expect any of them to listen.

2022...Pennsylvanians voted in Josh Shapiro governor over Maga Mastriano by huge margins. They also elected John Fetterman by a large margin, stroke lisp and all over Trumper Dr. Oz. Most have wised up to the maga BS and tired old games they pull.
