Former President Donald Trump told Pennsylvania voters that they have “no choice” but to vote for him in the 2024 presidential election, warning that our nation can’t survive with Vice President Kamala Harris as commander-in-chief.
“You can sit there and say, ‘I can’t stand that guy but there’s no way I’m gonna vote for her,’” Trump said.
Trump told a Fox News town hall that Kamala Harris would carry out her threat to impose a ban on fracking in the state.
“Pennsylvania can’t take the chance that that answer is true,” said Trump.
Fox News host Sean Hannity played a video showing Harris saying that she supported a ban on fracking, and Trump responded: “She will do that. There’s no chance she’s going to allow it.”
“The election will take place, if she won, you’re not gonna have any fracking in Pennsylvania. You have 500,000 jobs. Think of that, it’s your biggest business, and you get a big majority of your income from fracking, and you have somebody that’s not gonna allow fracking. She’s not gonna allow it. You can’t take the chance. You have no choice. You’ve gotta vote for me,” Trump said.
“The whole country would go down the tubes if you didn’t do the fossil fuel thing. You know, you’re the biggest in the country for this. You have two of the biggest sites in the world. It’s a massive business for Pennsylvania and you can’t take a chance,” Trump added.
Trump said Harris will “not allow fracking, and she’s got a lot of other problems too.”
Harris told CNN last week that even though she had declared she would outlaw fracking during her initial bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2019, she would not do so if she were elected president in November.
“What I have seen is that we can grow, and we can increase a clean energy economy without banning fracking,” she told CNN’s Dana Bash.
