Working class voters in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area are leaning towards Donald Trump as the election nears, citing economic difficulties and Biden's position on fracking.
Some Pennsylvania voters are leaning towards former President Trump as the election gets closer, citing economic woes and the state's fracking boom. The Wall Street Journal spoke to John Sabo and Josh Thieler, who both grew up around Pittsburgh, in areas where roughly 200,000 steel and manufacturing jobs vanished over their lifetimes. They have both changed their political party affiliation.
"Biden has been particularly hurt by his decision to cancel the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which local companies say cut into demand for their services; and his order this year to pause new permits to export liquefied natural gas, which could deprive drillers of new markets. Many of these voters also believe the president’s push for Americans to adopt electric vehicles will undercut jobs tied to fossil fuels," the report reads.
