Donald Trump is kicking it into high gear during the final sprint to Election Day.

He’s ready to put Kamala Harris on the defensive. 

And Donald Trump spoke one word that was Kamala Harris’ worst nightmare. 

Pennsylvania is the key to the White House 

Pennsylvania is the most important swing state this year with its 19 electoral votes. 

The winner of the state will have the inside track on the White House. 

Former President Donald Trump won Pennsylvania by about 44,000 votes in the 2016 Election before it flipped to President Joe Biden in 2020 by roughly 80,000 votes. 

The state is poised to come down to another photo finish with both campaigns investing heavily in it. 

Hydraulic fracturing – also known as fracking – has become the hot-button issue between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania. 

The Marcellus Shale Coalition found that fracking generates about $41 billion in economic activity for the state. 

Kamala spent virtually her entire political career as a Green New Deal-supporting environmental extremist who wants to ban fracking before she started running for President in July.

Now, she claims that she no longer supports a ban on fracking.

Trump hammered her for flip-flopping during the Presidential debate in Philadelphia. 

“Fracking? She’s been against it for 12 years,” Trump said.

“This is a radical Left liberal that would do this,” Trump added. “She will never allow fracking in Pennsylvania. If she won the election, fracking in Pennsylvania will end on day one.”

Energy is a flashpoint in the campaign 

Fracking is not only critical to Pennsylvania, but also America’s energy production. 

A 2021 study from the Biden-Harris Energy Department found that 75% of domestic natural gas and 63% of domestic oil production relied on fracking and horizontal drilling.

Pennsylvania is the second largest producer of natural gas in the country behind Texas because of fracking.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) commissioned a report by accounting firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers that found the oil and gas industry in Pennsylvania accounted for 423,000 jobs in the state – more than the population of Pittsburgh. 

“If Pennsylvania were a country, it would be the fifth- or sixth-largest gas producer in the world,” API senior vice president of policy, economics, and regulatory affairs Dustin Meyer said on Fox Business. 

He added that fracking has been “transformative to the state of Pennsylvania… It’s really difficult to overstate.”

Fracking led to an energy boom in Pennsylvania and nationally over the last decade, with oil and gas production tripling. 

Kamala has been hostile to the fossil fuel industry and there’s evidence that could cost her.

A new poll conducted by The New York Times and Siena College Research Institute found that almost 66% of voters nationally support increasing American production. 

Meyer said that the political battle over fracking represents a fight for the future of America’s energy industry. 

“So when candidates from both parties say that they support fracking, yes, they’re saying that they support that technology, but they’re also saying that they support all of the benefits that go along with it,” Meyer said. “The job creation, the lower costs, the decrease in imports, all of those benefits are the result of U.S. energy development – so much of which has come from hydraulic fracturing.”

Kamala Harris’ history of hostility to fracking could cost her the most important swing state in the election.
