JD Vance to visit Western Pennsylvania this weekend for town hall meeting
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Sen. JD Vance, the Republican nominee for vice president, is set to visit Monroeville on Saturday for a town hall meeting.
The event is scheduled for 1 p.m. at the Monroeville Convention Center on Mall Boulevard. Doors open at 9 a.m., and a link for tickets can be found online.
Saturday will not be Vance’s first time in Western Pennsylvania. In August, Vance spoke to veterans at an invite-only event in Lower Burrell at the VFW Post 92 off Wildlife Lodge Road.
Vance and former President Donald Trump have been spending plenty of time in Pennsylvania, a crucial state in the upcoming November election. On Monday, Trump held a rally at Indiana University of Pennsylvania after speaking at an event hosted by a conservative nonprofit in Westmoreland County.
Trump will then be back in Butler County on Oct. 5, returning to the site of the first assassination attempt against him at the Butler Farm Show grounds.
Political experts expect both Harris and Trump to return to Western Pennsylvania several times before Election Day on Nov. 5.
Kamala Harris visits Pittsburgh
Vice President Kamala Harris returned to Pittsburgh on Wednesday to push her economic plan.
Nearly 400 people attended the campaign event at the Philip Chosky Theatre, the majority of which had received an invitation.
According to recent polling from CBS News, Harris is cutting into Trump’s lead among voters who say the economy is a “major factor” in their vote. Trump has repeatedly slammed Harris and sought to tie her to high inflation during the Biden administration.

DOYLESTOWN BOROUGH, PA — A major downtown street will be repaved under a resurfacing contract awarded this week by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).
Borough officials, who have lobbied for years to have East and West State Street resurfaced, announced the news on Wednesday via its Facebook page.
When the project happens later this year, the work will be fully paid for under a major $8.3 million project bid award by PennDOT to repave 16 miles of state highways in Bucks County.
This marks the first time that State Street will be resurfaced since the 1990s, said borough officials, who credited an organized lobbying effort by local leadership and the community for pushing the project forward.
In its Facebook posting, the borough thanked State Sen. Steve Santarsiero, State Rep. Tim Brennan, Borough Council, Mayor Noni West, residents and business owners who brought the street’s condition to PennDOT’s attention.
State Street runs through the heart of the borough and serves as a heavily used business, tourism, and residential corridor for the town. It is home to the County Theater, a popular local and regional tourist attraction, the historic Doylestown Inn, and many other businesses.
More detailed timing and work plans are expected once the state finalizes its construction schedule.
One person is dead, and two others were taken to the hospital after a crash involving multiple vehicles in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, Tuesday afternoon, police said.
The crash happened around 4:45 p.m. at East Bristol Road and Brownsville roads, police said.
Police said a person driving a Toyota RAV4 was involved in a domestic-related incident in Lower Southampton Township before the crash.
The person driving the Toyota RAV4 was traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed, crossed into oncoming traffic and struck another vehicle while attempting to pass a Hyundai Kona, according to police.
The Toyota then became airborne, struck a Honda SUV and a Ford pickup truck and rolled over. The driver of the Toyota died in the crash, police said.
The driver of the Hyundai Kona left the road and came to a rest after striking a fence on Bristol Road, according to police.
It’s unclear if any drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash, police said.
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact Bensalem police.
