Trump to Address Economy at Mount Airy Event Tonight at 6 PM
URGENT UPDATE: President Donald Trump is set to deliver a pivotal speech tonight at the Mount Airy Casino Resort in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, kicking off at 6 PM. This marks Trump’s first visit to Northeast Pennsylvania since he assumed office for his second term, and he aims to outline his economic agenda as he gears up for a year of intensive campaigning ahead of the 2024 midterm elections.
Trump will focus on “ending the inflation crisis” he attributes to his predecessor, Joe Biden, according to an anonymous White House official cited by the Associated Press. With the economic landscape shifting and recent polls showing a significant drop in his approval ratings—now just 36% overall and 84% among Republicans—tonight’s address is crucial for rallying support.
This event comes on the heels of several notable Democratic victories in the recent November off-year elections, which have intensified the competition for control of the House of Representatives. As Republicans currently dominate both chambers of Congress, Democrats are eager to seize momentum and challenge GOP dominance.
The Pennsylvania State Police will assist the Secret Service during the event, leading to potential traffic delays in and around the Mount Pocono Borough and adjacent townships. Motorists are advised to anticipate congestion and plan their routes accordingly.
For those interested in attending, the Republican Party of Pennsylvania has provided a registration link on social media. Attendees must submit their name, email, and phone number to secure their spot, although the exact number of participants allowed remains uncertain.
This visit marks a significant moment for Trump, who previously campaigned in the region multiple times during his last presidential race. His return signifies not only a push for voter engagement but also a critical attempt to reclaim support as he faces challenges ahead in his political journey.
