LEHIGH COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — President Donald Trump will visit a Mack Truck facility in Pennsylvania Tuesday as his approval ratings continue to drop in the swing state, according to a recent poll from Franklin & Marshall College.
The president is set to speak around 2 p.m. at the facility in Macungie, Pennsylvania.
It’s the fifth time during his second term that Trump has visited Pennsylvania—a state that helped deliver his presidential victories in both the 2016 and 2026 elections.
Around one-third of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s approach to the economy, a June Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found.
However, an F&M poll also released in June found that Trump’s job approval rating in Pennsylvania sits around 29%, down from 39% in March. The poll attributes the loss in points to angst over cost of living, international affairs, and “an AI future.”
The Associated Press reports Trump’s visit to Pennsylvania will likely shift attention to the country’s economy in his first public event since he signed an interim agreement to end the war in Iran.
“Mack Trucks are a symbol of America’s manufacturing strength,” Congressman Dan Meuser wrote in a Facebook post about Trump’s visit. “Their Lehigh Valley operations are a pillar of the local economy, employing Pennsylvania workers and driving the nation’s trucking industry.”
Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chair Eugene DePasquale, on the other hand, said Trump and “his allies” are visiting Pennsylvania to “try to sell their chaotic, corrupt, and cost-raising agenda.”
“Donald Trump has no shame coming back to our Commonwealth as he works alongside Stacy Garrity, Ryan Mackenzie, and Dan Meuser to find new and uniquely corrupt ways to make life harder for Pennsylvanians — from their costly war of choice that caused gas prices to skyrocket to their cruel healthcare cuts that have already forced more than 160,000 Pennsylvanians to drop their insurance,” DePasquale wrote in a statement.
