With 10 weeks to go until the election, Donald Trump paid a visit to a neglected Pennsylvania town that welcomed him with open arms - despite what he's said before.

They were queuing at dawn for a rally that wouldn't start for hours. Such is the draw of Donald Trump in places like this. I'm back in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a town I've been to a few times over the past eight years. I was first here in 2016, on the night when Donald Trump dramatically defeated Hillary Clinton - the election which propelled him to the White House. I returned four years later when Trump lost to Joe Biden. This is a rust belt town which feels now to be rusting away.

Put simply, the lives of the people in this arena felt better back under the first Trump term, despite the unfulfilled promises, because they have felt even worse through the past four years under Joe Biden. Donald Trump, the salesman, has harnessed this anger with pitch-perfect rhetoric. He hears their disillusionment and he compounds it as he projects forward.
