President Joe Biden may have lost votes in Pennsylvania’s statewide races after he made a comment about shutting down coal plants, said a former White House economic adviser.
“In some sense, Biden seemingly channeled Hillary Clinton’s comment back in 2016 in West Virginia and Ohio, when she was talking about shutting down the coal mines, and she lost West Virginia by 70 percent to 30 percent,” former Trump administration adviser Peter Navarro told Newsmax this weekend.
Pennsylvania is a major producer and consumer of coal.
While speaking in California on Nov. 4, Biden said he was “in Massachusetts about a month ago on the site of the largest old coal plant in America. Guess what? It cost them too much money.  … No one is building new coal plants because they can’t rely on it, even if they have all the coal guaranteed for the rest of the existence of the plant … it’s going to become a wind generation.”…
