John,

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

Last night, I returned to the Butler County Fairgrounds to welcome President Donald J. Trump back to Pennsylvania and the site of the assassination attempt on July 13. This was a solemn event as we honor a great American, Corey Comperatore, who lost his life at that July rally. President Trump greeted the Comperatore family at the airport.

At the same time, this rally was exciting because it paid tribute to President Trump's survival of that heinous attack. The 50,000+ crowd was energized and so proud to be in attendance and to stand with our next President. I joined Fox News before the event to discuss this event and the importance of winning Pennsylvania. Click here or below to watch.

It was a star-studded event, and I was proud to be joined by dozens of my colleagues, Pennsylvania's next U.S. Senator Dave McCormick, and even businessman and patriot Elon Musk. Below, I am pictured with Congressman Mike Kelly and Dave McCormick. This is the same way we were sitting on July 13th, just feet away from where Corey Comperatore was tragically killed. Corey's wife and children are seated beside us, and so are Eric and Lara Trump.

I have never seen a bigger crowd at a political event! The left-wing media will try to downplay how massive the crowd was, but I took a video that shows just how massive the crowd is to show you the truth. Click here or below to watch.

The President gave an amazing address. As he said, we are going to WIN, WIN, WIN! Click here or below to watch his performance.

The President gave us a great shoutout. I am so proud to be on President Trump's team. I am confident we will win Pennsylvania and deliver him the White House. Click here or below to watch the President's shoutout.

Coming off an outstanding debate performance, our next U.S. Senator, Dave McCormick, was at the rally as well. President Trump gave him a great shoutout. We need Dave to win this seat and help us take back the U.S. Senate. Click here or below to watch.

In the days leading up to the rally in Butler, President Trump spoke with NewsNation about why he wanted to return to the site of the tragic assassination attempt. President Trump said he promised the people that day that he would be back to finish that rally. Click here or below to watch his remarks.

I joined "Fox & Friends Weekend" this morning to discuss my perspective on the rally. It truly was an emotional tribute to Corey Comperatore and a testament to President Trump’s leadership. I was honored to sit with Corey’s family and witness their strength during such a poignant event. President Trump’s return to Butler after the assassination attempt showed true American resilience—we get knocked down, but we get back up. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

On Tuesday, our next Vice President, Senator J.D. Vance, articulated the America First agenda very effectively and in a manner the American people can relate to. He highlighted policies that reflect the interests of most Americans, unlike Walz, who couldn’t defend the failed ideas of Biden-Harris and Harris-Waltz… big government, higher taxes, burdensome regulations, energy dependence, an open border, and chaos around the world. The difference between the campaigns couldn’t be clearer: Vance and President Trump are open about who they are and what they stand for, inviting Americans to know them and their policies. Meanwhile, Harris and Walz are desperately hiding from their record, afraid of letting voters see who they really are and what they truly represent. If Harris had any plan to correct course, she would stop saying she’d make changes on “Day One” and implement them now. Harris’ “Day One” was three and a half years ago. I joined CNN's "CNN News Central" with Boris Sanchez to discuss. Click here or below to watch.

I also joined “The Rich Zeoli Show” on 1210 WPHT. We discussed JD Vance’s impressive debate performance, Trump’s return to Butler this Saturday, and the many failures uncovered by the Task Force investigating the first assassination attempt. Click here or below to listen.

Check out my interview on WILK with Rob O’Donnell! We discussed Three Mile Island, the need to restore American energy dominance, last night’s Senate debate, Trump’s return to Butler, and much more. Click here or below to listen.

Today, my interview with Dennis Owens on "This Week in Pennsylvania" with WHTM-27 ABC News aired. I discussed the many reasons we should support President Trump and my frustration over any Republican supporting Kamala Harris. I would ask any Pennsylvanian still struggling with who to vote for in the presidential election to ask themselves if they are better off today than when President Trump was in office. Please let that guide your decision. Click here or below to watch.

IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: Kamala’s “Plan” is a death knell for American manufacturing.

Kamala Harris outlined an "economic philosophy" focused on manufacturing — all in a desperate attempt to distance herself from her own failure to deliver over the past four years.

Kamala doesn't support manufacturing. Kamala killed 24,000 manufacturing jobs last month alone — and after nearly four years, "created" just 32,000 manufacturing jobs when considering jobs added back post-pandemic and massive downward revisions. Manufacturing has declined since she took office as the industry sees some of the fastest contractions on record.

"Tax Queen" Kamala's plan to keep manufacturing jobs in America? A 33% tax hike on all domestic production, the largest capital gains tax hike in history, a wealth confiscation tax on unrealized capital gains, a massive national energy tax — and more.

President Trump, who created nearly half a million manufacturing jobs in his first three years, has an actual plan to bring jobs BACK to America:

• President Trump's "MADE IN AMERICA" tax rate will cut the business tax rate from 21% to 15% for employers who make their products in the USA  and charge a tariff on companies that don't.
• President Trump will cut energy prices in half within his first year and double the grid capacity to compete with China and other countries.
• President Trump will cut ten existing regulations for every new regulation put in place.
• President Trump will impose a 100% tariff on every automobile manufactured by a Chinese plant in Mexico—and the only way they'll get rid of it is by building a plant in the U.S.

If Kamala was serious about protecting American workers and their jobs, why hasn't she done it already? She has been in office for nearly four years. She has unleashed devastation on the working class with sky-high prices, shrinking wages, higher energy costs, and tens of millions of illegal aliens taking over our communities.

Her approach isn't just  "pragmatic." It's a death wish for American manufacturing and American workers.

Under President Trump, foreign nations will be worried about THEIR jobs coming to America — not the other way around.

AROUND THE DISTRICT:

On Monday, my good friend Sunny Patel opened his home for a great event supporting my campaign. We talked about many issues small businesses face. Thank you to Sunny and his friends and family for hosting us.

On Tuesday morning, I was happy to attend the 29th Annual Pocono Prayer Breakfast at Kalahari Resort, where over 1,000 people gathered in faith and community. It was great to hear from our keynote speaker, veteran MLB player Darryl Strawberry, who delivered a powerful message about hope. I appreciated the opportunity to address the attendees, discuss the importance of faith, and provide an update from Washington.

After the prayer breakfast, I had the opportunity to speak at a meet-and-greet for my friend and U.S. Senate candidate Dave McCormick and Rob Bresnahan, our Republican candidate in the 8th congressional district.

I attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Wyoming County Healthcare Center, formerly Tyler Memorial Hospital. With Guthrie now providing medical services and a full-time ambulance service, the center is fully operational, restoring vital healthcare access to Wyoming County. Thanks to Bill Ruark and his family, who purchased and revitalized the property, the Wyoming County Healthcare Center is paving the way for more accessible healthcare in the region. Supported by a $213,000 Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) grant my office helped secure, as well as contributions from the Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) and the AllOne Foundation, the center is now ready to meet the healthcare needs of Wyoming County.

I was able to tour the iconic Yuengling Brewery in Pottsville, right in the heart of Pennsylvania's ninth district, alongside State Treasurer Stacy Garrity. As America's oldest brewery, Yuengling is a testament to the enduring legacy of family-owned businesses and their impact on our local economy. Employing hundreds of hardworking Pennsylvanians, Yuengling Beer is a prime example of how companies like this drive economic growth. It’s always great visiting this family business, still proudly run by Dick Yuengling and his four daughters, Jen, Wendy, Debbie, and Sheryl.

On Thursday evening, Brian, Michael, and John Rich hosted a special event for me at their car museum in Schuylkill County. Thank you to all who attended and contributed towards victory in the Republican Party.

We participated in a “Gas Price Drop” event in Tamaqua with Americans for Prosperity - Pennsylvania on Friday. This was an excellent opportunity to connect with hardworking Pennsylvanians and provide much-needed relief at the pump. AFP lowered the gas price at Pantry Quik to $2.38 per gallon—the same price when Biden and Harris took office. We shared with customers how this administration’s excessive spending, overregulation, and anti-energy policies drive inflation and impact families across our district. I want to thank everyone who came out and to Pantry Quik for hosting. House Republicans and I will continue fighting for policies that strengthen our economy, restore American energy dominance, and make life more affordable for all Americans.

I went to Harrisburg for the Pennsylvania State GOP Fall Dinner on Friday evening. I was there with my former colleague and former Republican candidate for governor of New York, Lee Zeldin. We addressed a great group of Republican leaders from across the Commonwealth. I want to thank PA GOP Chair Lawrence Tabas and the team for hosting a great event.
