Harris courts rural Trump voters in Pennsylvania

[RandySF]

Vice President Kamala Harris is launching a targeted effort to court Republican voters in rural Pennsylvania.

Why it matters: It's a sign that the Harris campaign is not only aiming to surge Democratic turnout in vote dense Philly and Pittsburgh but also trying hard to blunt former President Trump's margins in swing or red counties across the commonwealth.

What we're watching: The Harris campaign is launching a 30-second ad on Tuesday featuring two two-time Trump voters who plan to vote for Harris.

"I voted for him twice. I won't vote for him again," says Bob Lange, a family farmer from Malvern, Pennsylvania, of Trump in the ad that was first obtained by Axios. "Never thought I'd say this, but the Democrats are the party of common sense."

1. That's great to hear!

Although, I’m not sure I’d consider Malvern rural. If so, just barely. I believe it might be the last stop on the mainline? I would consider it a suburb of Philly.
