[Governor Tim Walz] stopped first at a farm shop with his daughter, Hope, just outside of the city of Lancaster, where the town thins out and gives way to fields of corn and the occasional Amish wagon. Wearing his infamous camo hat, and with his Secret Service protection dressed in plaid, he joked with the owner of Cherry Hill Orchards farm store about the origins of Pennsylvania’s whoopie pie.
“Look at me — I have no problem picking out donuts,” he said, pointing to his belly. On the surface, it was a self-deprecating joke; underneath, there may have been a sly reference to Trump’s running mate JD Vance and his own ill-fated campaign stop at a donut shop recently.
The Harris-Walz campaign has opened 50 field offices across the state, including 16 in predominantly rural counties like Lancaster. A campaign spokesperson told The Independent it was only the second Democratic presidential ticket to open a campaign office in Lancaster County, and the first ever to open an office in Ephrata, a rural borough of the county. These moves, the spokesperson said, demonstrate “a commitment to making inroads in rural and traditionally more conservative regions.”
