Election Day is less than a month away, and the candidates are using the final days to make gains in key battleground states. Both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are eager to win over voters in Pennsylvania, which has 19 electoral votes up for grabs. FOX News Contributor and former White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove breaks down each campaign’s strategy and reacts to the vice-presidential debate.

But in 2016, Donald Trump was narrowly able to win the state, securing him the path to the presidency.
