Trump Returning To Pennsylvania To Stump For Kelly, Barletta

President Donald Trump is making another visit to Pennsylvania, this time to Erie where one of his staunch supporters in Congress is facing his toughest re-election battle yet.

Trump's campaign said Wednesday that the president will hold a rally at Erie Insurance Arena on Oct. 10. Four-term U.S. Reps. Mike Kelly and Lou Barletta are expected to attend, and Trump will headline a fundraiser for the men while there.

Kelly is facing a challenge from Democrat Ron DiNicola while Barletta is mounting an uphill campaign to unseat two-term Democratic U.S. Bob Casey.

Trump was in Philadelphia earlier this week, at the Flight 93 memorial in southwestern Pennsylvania on Sept. 11 and in Wilkes-Barre in early August for a rally with Barletta.
