Eric Nichols, 54, has never voted in a presidential election, and doesn’t plan to this fall. The Rochester resident works in maintenance at a local hotel and said the vice president might be coming here not only to engage with voters but also because of the local history: the famous explorers Lewis and Clark came through Beaver and Fort McIntosh, a structure built during the Revolutionary War era, is nearby.

Some supporters of Donald Trump were flagging flags and MAGA hats in support of the former president. One of them was Larry Cottrill, 66, of Rochester. Mr. Cottrill, a retired baker, said the economy is what most concerns him, especially high grocery prices. He said he relishes being in a swing area of a swing state: “It feels great, to be in one of the most important states to decide the election. And I wouldn’t live anywhere else than Pennsylvania or Beaver County.” (Steve Bohnel\/Post-Gazette)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
