The political world will be focused on Pennsylvania next week when both the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates continue campaigning for votes.
The arrival of Hillary Clinton and the Democrats to the state has been known for a while as Philadelphia hosts the Democratic National Convention, beginning Monday.
On Saturday, Clinton introduced Virginia Senator Tim Kaine as her running mate in Florida before traveling to Philly for the DNC.
Republican party officials in the Keystone State told the Associated Press that Donald Trump will visit Lackawanna College in Scranton on Wednesday for a town hall.
Via Twitter, Trump fired off a pair of tweets on Saturday about jobs in Pennsylvania.
Crooked Hillary Clinton has destroyed jobs and manufacturing in Pennsylvania. Against steelworkers and miners. Husband signed NAFTA.

Funny that the Democrats would have their convention in Pennsylvania where her husband and her killed so many jobs. I will bring jobs back!

Trump is returning to the campaign trail after the Republican National Convention in Cleveland where he officially became the party's presidential nominee.
Pennsylvania figures to be a hotly-contested state in the election. However, pollsters are having a difficult time taking the pulse of the state's voters.
A Quinnipiac poll released on July 13 showed Trump two points ahead of Clinton, 43 percent to 41. Yet, an NBC/Marist poll released on the same day had Clinton holding a nine-point lead over Trump, 45 percent to 36.
With just over three months remaining until Election Day, Pennsylvania voters should expect more campaign stops.
