The Montclair Democratic Party showed its strong support for Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz through two consecutive Saturdays of bus rides to key battleground areas in Pennsylvania. With over 50 volunteers each weekend, the Montclair Democratic Party brought energy and dedication to Allentown and Doylestown, said Essex County Commissioner Brendan Gill, chair of the Montclair Democrats (pictured, below left).

The national election for president between Democrat Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump, could come down to Pennsylvania.

The latest, from Reuters:

Donald Trump’s campaign vow to increase tariffs on imported goods, particularly from China, has the support of a narrow majority of U.S. voters, illustrating his economic advantage over rival Vice President Kamala Harris, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows.

The Republican former president and his Democratic opponent have both vowed to pursue tax cuts if they win the Nov. 5 election. But voters also credit Trump with being more likely to lower the $35 trillion national debt — even though independent economic forecasters say his proposals would have the opposite effect.

Some 56% of registered voters in the Sept. 11-12 poll said they were more likely to support a candidate backing a new 10% tariff, or tax, on all imports, as well as a 60% tariff on imports from China. By comparison, 41% said they were less likely to support a candidate attached to that proposal.

The poll showed Harris with an overall 5-percentage-point lead over Trump nationally, though the U.S. presidential race will largely be decided in about seven battleground states where the race is tighter.
