After Convention, Clinton and Kaine To Bus Across PA (UPDATED)

Clinton-KaineAfter formally accepting the Democratic nominations for President and Vice President at the DNC in Philadelphia, Hillary Clinton and Senator Tim Kaine will be taking a bus tour which will traverse Pennsylvania.

According to Thomas Fitzgerald of the Inquirer, Clinton and Kaine will start their tour on Friday at Independence Hall. After that, they will head west with definitive stops in Harrisburg, Johnstown, and Pittsburgh. Several other unplanned stops will occur along the route.

By late Saturday and throughout Sunday, the tour will wrap up in Ohio.

Clinton will probably be taking the time to introduce Kaine to the people of PA, Ohio, and Americans in general.

Hillary seems to be taking a cue from her husband’s playbook as when Bill Clinton ran in 1992, he also did a bus tour with his running mate Al Gore.

More importantly, Clinton and Kaine will try to shore up Pennsylvania, which has not voted Republican in the presidential election for the past six cycles. Donald Trump, however, has made it clear that he intends to make a serious challenge for the rust belt states including Pennsylvania.

Currently, the race in Pennsylvania is fairly tight with the latest average of polling from FiveThirtyEight having Clinton up by only 1.9 percentage points. As of late, Clinton has been trending downwards while Trump is on the rise in the Keystone state.

Expect several more appearances by the Clinton and Trump campaigns as both fight for Pennsylvania’s valuable 20 electoral votes.

  1. You Democrats need to relax. Don’t be scared of little ‘ol me. I’m sure HiLIARy will win. You don’t even need to vote. See, the LA Times, which polled through yesterday, still has Trump up by 7, but his average lead dropped by 0.2% today.

  2. That’s great is for Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine coming to Pennsylvania, and I think for Governor Tom Wolf, Lieutenant Governor Mike Stack, US Senator Bob Casey, and Former Governor Ed Rendell should go on the bus tour with them one day.

  3. Her internals must be showing some bad numbers for a three day bus tour of PA to be on the schedule. That fact alone shows she’s on the defensive.

  4. That bus will smell like truck-Driver jizz if my husband is on it.
