The Montclair Democratic Party showed its strong support for Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz through two consecutive Saturdays of bus rides to key battleground areas in Pennsylvania. With over 50 volunteers each weekend, the Montclair Democratic Party brought energy and dedication to Allentown and Doylestown, said Essex County Commissioner Brendan Gill, chair of the Montclair Democrats (pictured, below left).
The national election for president between Democrat Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump, could come down to Pennsylvania.
Donald Trump’s campaign vow to increase tariffs on imported goods, particularly from China, has the support of a narrow majority of U.S. voters, illustrating his economic advantage over rival Vice President Kamala Harris, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows.
The Republican former president and his Democratic opponent have both vowed to pursue tax cuts if they win the Nov. 5 election. But voters also credit Trump with being more likely to lower the $35 trillion national debt — even though independent economic forecasters say his proposals would have the opposite effect.
Some 56% of registered voters in the Sept. 11-12 poll said they were more likely to support a candidate backing a new 10% tariff, or tax, on all imports, as well as a 60% tariff on imports from China. By comparison, 41% said they were less likely to support a candidate attached to that proposal.
The poll showed Harris with an overall 5-percentage-point lead over Trump nationally, though the U.S. presidential race will largely be decided in about seven battleground states where the race is tighter.

Montclair Democrats are stepping up their efforts to support the Harris-Walz campaign in Pennsylvania by organizing bus rides for volunteers to travel to the battleground state. The campaign, led by Democratic candidates Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, has gained momentum in recent weeks as the election draws nearer.
The decision to organize bus rides to Pennsylvania comes as a response to the importance of the state in determining the outcome of the election. Pennsylvania is considered a crucial swing state, with its 20 electoral votes being hotly contested by both parties. The Montclair Democrats believe that their support can make a significant impact on the campaign and help secure a victory for Harris and Walz.
The bus rides will provide an opportunity for volunteers to engage in grassroots campaigning, including door-to-door canvassing, phone banking, and voter registration drives. By mobilizing their supporters to travel to Pennsylvania, the Montclair Democrats hope to increase voter turnout and persuade undecided voters to support the Democratic ticket.
In addition to supporting the Harris-Walz campaign, the bus rides also serve as a way for Montclair Democrats to build camaraderie and strengthen their community ties. By working together towards a common goal, volunteers can forge lasting relationships and create a sense of unity within the party.
The initiative to organize bus rides to Pennsylvania reflects the dedication and passion of Montclair Democrats in their commitment to electing Harris and Walz. By taking action and mobilizing their supporters, they are demonstrating their belief in the power of grassroots activism and the importance of political engagement.
As the election approaches, the Montclair Democrats are determined to make a difference and ensure that their voices are heard. Through their efforts to organize bus rides to Pennsylvania, they are showing that they are willing to go the extra mile to support the Harris-Walz campaign and help shape the future of our country.
