By KEVIN FREKING Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence is working on behalf of the Trump administration to make voters feel better about the direction of the country amid a coronavirus pandemic and racial pandemic. Pence traveled on Friday to Pennsylvania, an important swing state with 20 electoral votes that will be bitterly contested. He began with a listening session with faith and community leaders to hear their concerns following the death of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis. He then talked up the economy at a manufacturing plant 30 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. Pence’s trip to Pennsylvania was part of what is described as the “Great American Comeback Tour.”
