President Trump, speaking Tuesday at a campaign rally in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, warned that Democrat Joe Biden would destroy the state’s economy with his proposed energy agenda.
Speaking at Johnstown Airport, the president also took credit for his own actions in protecting steel and coal, both of which have historically contributed to the state's economy.
"If he wins, the radical left will be running the country. He won't be running the country. The radical left will take over," Trump told the crowd. "And how about Pennsylvania? So, he says there will be no fracking. No fracking. This went on for a year and a half. No fracking. No fracking, no fracking ... You talk about [a] politician, no fracking for a year and a half, right? And then he goes to Pennsylvania -- says, no, no, there'll be fracking, like nothing happened."
Trump argued Pennsylvania would lose jobs under a Biden presidency: "There will be no petroleum products, there will be no fracking whatsoever. And did you see his party now is really angry at him because he's saying maybe there'll be fracking? ... But with me, you're going to frack. You're going to frack."
Both Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., indicated they would halt fracking in some way. But Biden has denied he would ban fracking.

"I know our Republican friends are trying to say I said that. I said I would not do any new leases on federal lands," he said. "Ninety percent of the leases are not on federal land, to begin with.
