Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who is 78 years old, defended his age during a campaign event in Pennsylvania. He mentioned that he had undergone cognitive tests and aced them twice. Trump also criticized Democratic nominee Kamala Harris for her changing stance on fracking. Earlier, Trump visited a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania and worked at the fry station. Harris, on the other hand, celebrated her 60th birthday by visiting churches in Georgia.

He promised to lower energy bills by promoting oil and gas production. Trump also played video clips of Harris opposing fracking. Additionally, he expressed support for law enforcement officers and called for protecting them from legal repercussions. Trump mentioned plans to attend a Pittsburgh Steelers game, while Harris touted endorsements from former Steelers players.
The campaign events highlighted the contrasting policies and approaches of the two candidates and their efforts to appeal to voters in key swing states. Trump’s remarks also revealed his mindset on issues such as law and order, energy production, and his own cognitive abilities.
