'Most consequential election': PA lawmakers and national figures on Trump Bus Tour talk issues, voter fervor

On the closing day of a weeklong Team Trump bus tour through Pennsylvania, the coach - decaled with a giant number "47" and signatures from hundreds of voters it crossed paths with - pulled into Chambersburg near the Maryland line.

Those aboard hoped the stop - just over the mountain from where the first Republican president delivered his Gettysburg Address - would help usher in the next.

Rep. John Joyce, R-Pa., who represents a swath of southcentral Pennsylvania from Ebensburg to Shippensburg, said he was proud to see the 13th Congressional District deliver the most votes to Trump than any other in the commonwealth in 2020.

"What I'm seeing; what I'm feeling is the common sense, conservative values that President Trump brings to the table; we here in Central Pennsylvania recognize that we need a secure border... to turn around the reckless inflation that is causing Pennsylvanians not to have the money to pay for gasoline and groceries."

TRUMP'S PERSONAL MESSAGE BEFORE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT SPURRED ME TO ACTION: BUTLER-AREA MAYOR

Joyce quipped that as a physician, he sees Trump keeping his "finger on the pulse" of what Americans need from their leader.

State Sen. Doug Mastriano, R-Franklin County, Pennsylvania's 2022 GOP gubernatorial nominee, echoed the sentiment.
