Trump to host rally on Biden's home turf in northeast Pennsylvania, the last before his trial begins

==========

Former President Donald Trump plans to hold a rally in northeast Pennsylvania, his last before his criminal hush money trial begins. The rally will take place at the Schnecksville Fire Hall in Lehigh County, a vital swing state. Pennsylvania is a critical battleground in the rematch between Trump and Biden. Trump is facing four separate criminal prosecutions while running for president. Jury selection for his trial starts on Monday in New York. Biden has criticized Trump's lies about losing the 2020 election and argues that Trump poses a fundamental threat to democracy. Both candidates have been trying to stir up their voting bases and tear apart their opponent's coalitions. Trump has new ammunition to criticize Biden's handling of the economy as inflation jumped 0.4% in March to 3.5% annually. Biden has put Trump on the defensive over the issue of abortion. The area around Lehigh County has enjoyed job growth under Biden, with an unemployment rate of 3.9%. However, only 37% of U.S. adults approve of Biden's economic leadership. Biden expects the inflation rate to fall and the Federal Reserve to respond by cutting its benchmark interest rates.
