Trump heads to the Lehigh Valley today, where he’ll highlight a firm involved in fighting coronavirus and build his case for reopening country

With re-election on his mind, Trump is visiting one part of Pennsylvania that could hold the key to his chances: The what, where and why

President Donald Trump will return to the key swing state of Pennsylvania on Thursday, when he tours an Owens and Minor Inc. medical distribution center outside Allentown. The firm has sent N95 masks, surgical gowns and gloves to hospitals and surgery centers across the country amid the coronavirus outbreak.

It’s Trump’s first presidential visit to the Lehigh Valley, a region once known as the home of Bethlehem Steel that has seen an economic revival in the two decades since the plant’s closing. The area has become a political bellwether in this crucial swing state, and could hold the key to his reelection chances.
