SCRANTON, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will stage a rally in President Joe Biden's hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday as he looks to win over the blue-collar voters who have traditionally been Biden loyalists in the critical state.

It will be Trump's second visit in just five days to Pennsylvania, as he holds rallies in regions heavily populated by the working-class, who are seen as a key voting bloc in the hard-fought race between Trump and his Democratic challenger Kamala Harris.
