"After numerous visits by the Democratic candidates themselves and high profile surrogates, the Clinton campaign can't close the deal with Keystone State voters," said Greg Manz, Trump's Pennsylvania Communications Director. "This latest visit by Dr. Jill Biden and Anne Holton to Pennsylvania will also fail to move the needle because Pennsylvania voters soundly reject Hillary Clinton's corruption and pay-to-play scheme where she traded official State Department access to foreign agents in exchange for multi-million-dollar donations to the Clinton Foundation and six-figure speaking fees for her husband. Keystone State voters know Hillary is nothing more than a 30-year career politician who lined her pockets while in power and bottom line is she lacks the judgment and character to serve as our President."
Clinton leads Trump by 6.3 points in the latest average of national polls, according to RealClearPolitics. In Pennsylvania, she leads by 6.2 points.
