HARRISBURG, Pa. — Attendees of last week’s town-hall event featuring Donald Trump and “Fox News” host Sean Hannity had a clear side message for Democratic veep nominee Tim Walz: Your ticket doesn’t stand a chance here.

“I’ll make my message to Tim Walz loud and clear: Pennsylvanians will not give him the chance to do to our PA. cities what he allowed to occur in 2020 in Minneapolis under his governorship,” said Zach Halkias, the 22-year-old vice president of the local Slatington Borough Council, to The Post.

Halkias and other Trump supporters were at the former prez’s event in Harrisburg just hours after Walz — whose botched handling of the 2020 George Floyd protests in Minneapolis are now infamous — stopped down the road in Lancaster.

Joyce Portk, a retiree from Lake Wynonah, attended the town hall in the crucial swing state with her daughter.

“Fox News” host Sean Hannity and Donald Trump discuss issues during last week’s town-hall event in the key swing state of Pennsylvania.

Portk called Walz’s Lancaster trip a “waste of time,” pointing out the lack of specific policy proposals from Kamala Harris’ campaign and saying that is enough to dishearten Keystone voters.

“They don’t tell you what they’re running on, so how can you make an informed decision about who to vote for?” she said.

Another mother-daughter duo, Mary Lou Flores and Christine Mitchko of Yardley, balked at the portrayal of Walz as a “centrist.

“He seems pretty far left, and they’re kinda painting him as this centrist, like he’s this good old boy with the guns,” said Mitchko, a 54-year-old software engineer.

“People should start asking him about his record, and he should really speak truly to the stolen valor accusations,” she added, referring to controversy of what Walz claimed about his rank in the Army National Guard and the circumstances surrounding his retirement.

“I think that’s pretty important,” she said.

Flores, a 76-year-old retired nurse, brought up GOP South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s comments about Walz shifting from a moderate Democratic congressman with whom she had a good working relationship to a “radical” governor of Minnesota.

“Somebody in Congress was saying she served with him and he was a great guy, really seemed moderate at that time,” Flores said of Noem’s comments.

“But when he became governor and I look at his record, I’m not for his [policies],” she said of Walz, who is running with Veep and Dem presidential nominee Kamala Harris for the White House against Trump and his choice for No. 2, JD Vance.
