From Christmas City to the coal mines: An inside look at the Dems' ground game in PA's crucial Lehigh Valley
Fox News
Allentown Mayor Matthew Tuerk and Bethlehem state lawmaker Lisa Boscola offered their take on the election and what they are seeing from constituents in Tuesday interviews.
Former President Trump won Northampton County in 2016, and lost it in 2020. Lehigh County – typically bluer due to Allentown's influence – hosts a reliably conservative voting bloc in its rural, Pennsylvania German exurbs. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Tuerk, whose "Band City USA" is also Pennsylvania’s third largest, said he’s heard directly from residents that they largely support Vice President Kamala Harris. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
Speaking from a conference of global mayors in Mexico City, Tuerk said dignitaries are coming up to him with interest in Allentown and the way the national election may turn based on the result in his city. Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
