Trump&rsquo;s path to victory in 2016 ran through the Keystone State, and it has been home to some of the most competitive Senate races in recent years, including Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) trying to fend off challenger Dave McCormick this cycle.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Tomorrow night through Monday, I will be giving a series of talks throughout Pennsylvania.
