President Trump will visit the sharply divided battleground state of Pennsylvania on Thursday as he encourages a rebellion by local Republican officials against Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf’s stay-at-home coronavirus orders.
The president’s trip to the state where he trails presumptive Democratic nominee Joseph R. Biden is intended to highlight the administration’s efforts providing N-95 masks and surgical gowns, at an Owens and Minor Inc. distribution center in Lehigh County.
But the business is also located in the governor’s “red zone,” part of the state that won’t be allowed to reopen for non-essential business until June 4. And Mr. Trump is criticizing such long delays in getting back to business.
During a White House meeting on Wednesday, Mr. Trump praised the Democratic Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado and Republican Gov. Doug Burgum of North Dakota for swiftly and smoothly reopening their states.
“You’re opening up. You’re both doing an excellent job,” the president said. The president also said reopening schools in the fall must be part of a state’s plan.
“I don’t consider our country coming back if the schools are closed,” he said. “It’s the governors’ choice, but the state is not open if the schools are not open.”
With more than 1.7 million Pennsylvanians — 26% of the workforce — thrown out of their jobs in the past two months, local officials and some business owners in the state’s 30-county red zone are vowing to defy Mr. Wolf’s orders. District attorneys in Republican-majority Berks and Lebanon counties said this week that they won’t enforce the governor’s directive to stay closed.
