CBS’ Scott Pelley spoke to a long-time Pennsylvania Democratic voter on “60 Minutes' Sunday about why she decided to vote for President-elect Donald Trump.
A Democratic voter in Pennsylvania insisted 'nobody’s wages went up' after CBS journalist Scott Pelley questioned her vote for President-elect Donald Trump. After Trump’s decisive win and massive GOP gains after the election, '60 Minutes' traveled to the swing state to reach out to ordinary Americans about how Democrats 'misread the people.' One voter, diner owner Roz Werkheiser, explained rising food costs as one major issue.
She added, 'My mother used to always say, ‘Gotta vote Democrat. You know, they're for the poor people.’' 'You grew up in a Democratic household?,' Pelley asked. 'Yes,' Werkheiser answered. 'But you just voted for Donald Trump,' Pelley said. Werkheiser replied again, 'Yes.' The economy was considered one of the top issues concerning voters ahead of the election, but Pelley argued with Werkheiser that it has actually improved.
The 2024 Fox News Voter Analysis found that the economy ranked as the second-largest issue among Trump voters behind immigration. Overall, the economy ranked as the highest issue among voters as a whole with a plurality of 39%. A majority of Trump voters also believed the economy was 'not so good' or 'poor.'
