Trump, who is focusing on key swing states as the 2024 presidential race heats up, greeted shoppers, engaged with store employees, and even helped out a struggling shopper by lowering her grocery bill.

As Trump interacted with customers in the store, he noticed a mother checking out at the register. “Here, it’s going to go down a little bit,” Trump told the woman, handing her a $100 bill. “It just went down 100 bucks,” he added, referring to her grocery total.

The grateful woman replied, “Thank you so much,” as Trump said his goodbyes and thanked those around him for their support. “We’ll do that for you from the White House, alright?” Trump added with a wave.

In addition to helping out the mother, Trump supported the local business by purchasing a large bag of popcorn. “Oh, look, I gotta get some. We gotta get it,” Trump remarked as he handed the popcorn to his team.

When another customer told Trump that his mother had just bought the same bag, Trump asked, “Is this stuff good?” The customer confirmed, “She says it’s the best.” Trump humorously replied, “If it is, I’ll be sending, I’ll be in Washington D.C., hopefully in the Oval Office, I’ll send for popcorn.”

During the visit, Trump spoke with the store owner about the challenges small businesses are facing due to inflation.

The store owner explained how rising prices have affected his sales. “You know, I’m very proud because every year we went up, except for the last three years because of this inflation,” the owner told Trump. “Prices are up, but our sales are down, so we’ve had to get super creative on how to use our space.”

Trump acknowledged the owner’s struggles, responding, “Prices go up, yet your sales are down.” The store owner added, “It’s been brutal. Thankfully, I have a great crew, a great staff, my family, we work together.”

Trump’s visit to the Pennsylvania grocery store highlights his ongoing efforts to engage with voters in key battleground states as the 2024 election nears.

Pennsylvania, along with Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia, remains a crucial state for both Trump and his opponent, Kamala Harris.

According to a recent Spotlight PA/MassINC poll, Harris holds a five-point lead over Trump in the Keystone State, with 49 percent support compared to Trump’s 44 percent.

Polling averages from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ show Harris with a 1.2 percentage point advantage in Pennsylvania, with Harris at 49.1 percent support and Trump at 47.9 percent.

However, recent polling from The New York Times indicates Trump is leading Harris in key Sun Belt states such as Georgia, North Carolina, and Arizona.

Trump’s outreach efforts in Pennsylvania and other swing states are critical as he works to build momentum leading up to the election.

The former president’s interaction with the local community and small businesses in Pennsylvania is part of his broader strategy to connect with voters and address concerns about rising inflation and economic challenges.

Meanwhile, Harris’s campaign is also focusing heavily on Pennsylvania, understanding the state’s importance in securing the 2024 election.

As the race continues, both candidates will likely intensify their efforts in battleground states, making visits like Trump’s stop in Kittanning all the more significant in shaping the outcome of the election.
