Livestream: Pence Visits PA To Tout America's Economic Comeback

SARVER, PA — Vice President Mike Pence will make an appearance at a manufacturing plant near Pittsburgh on Friday as part of a new campaign effort showcasing the nation's economy making a comeback.

Pence is scheduled to visit Oberg Industries in Sarver. His remarks, which will be televised live on the White House's YouTube channel, are slated to begin at 3:10 p.m. ET.

President Donald Trump had planned to run for re-election on the back of a strong economy, a hope dashed by the coronavirus pandemic and ensuing economic devastation, including a soaring unemployment rate.

However, the president seized on a better-than-expected jobs report released last week, and his campaign quickly made an ad proclaiming “the great American comeback has begun.”

Pence's stop in Pennsylvania kicks off the “Great American Comeback Tour," which is being organized by America First Policies, a nonprofit associated with the America First Action super PAC supporting Trump’s reelection.

Officials said the event is just one of the several stops Pence will make in the Pittsburgh area on Friday.
