Trump has repeatedly pledged U.S. “energy dominance” in the global market, and Pennsylvania – a swing state critical to his wins in 2016 and 2024 – is at the forefront of that agenda.

Sen. Dave McCormick announced at an energy and innovation summit on Tuesday that Pennsylvania has recently received $90 billion in business commitments. The political and business leaders who spoke at the event at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh said these investments will help position the state as a leader in the AI revolution that is just beginning to transform the country and its economy.

President Donald Trump and Sen. David McCormick of Pennsylvania will jointly announce roughly $70 billion of energy investments in the state Tuesday as the president travels to Pittsburgh for a conference with dozens of top executives to promote his energy and technology agenda.
