(DailyVantage.com) – While campaigning in Pennsylvania last week, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump vowed to cut energy costs in half if he returns to the White House in January.
The former president went on a campaign sweep to counter last week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago, kicking it off last Monday with an appearance at defense manufacturer Precision Components Group in York, Pennsylvania where he focused primarily on his economic and energy agendas.
Trump hammered appointed nominee Kamala Harris, warning that her economic policies like her proposed price controls would result in another economic crash like the one that led to the Great Depression in the 1930s.
The former president said he would cut the cost of energy in half in his first year in office by getting rid of the green energy regulations imposed by the Biden-Harris administration and ending its mandates on electric vehicles.
Trump warned that a Harris presidency would “triple and quadruple” energy costs in the US and that not a single “drop of oil” would be produced.
He also blasted Vice President Harris for flip-flopping on the issue of fracking, noting that she previously said she supported a ban on fracking but now, as a presidential candidate, claims that she no longer does.
Trump accused the Biden-Harris administration of waging a “regulatory jihad” on US energy by seeking to shut down power plants. He vowed to “open dozens and dozens” more power plants to make America “dominant in energy.”
Over last weekend while the Harris-Walz campaign was making whistlestops in Western Pennsylvania, Trump held a rally in Wilkes-Barre in the northeastern part of the state.
As part of his counter-campaigning during the Democrat Party’s convention, Trump campaigned in Michigan last Tuesday where he focused on crime. The following day, Trump was in North Carolina where he discussed his national security agenda.
The former president then traveled out west to Arizona and Nevada, speaking on immigration at the Montezuma Pass last Thursday and his proposed “no tax on tips” in Nevada on Friday.
