If President Donald Trump agreed to a Pennsylvania town hall to sway undecided voters, his exchange with a literature professor born with a chronic disease lost him at least one vote in the battleground state. Ellesia Blaque voted reluctantly for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and dislikes Sen. Kamala Harris
PHILADELPHIA — If President Donald Trump agreed to a Pennsylvania town hall to sway undecided voters, his exchange with a literature professor born with a chronic disease lost him at least one vote in the battleground state.
“I decided that even though I’m dissatisfied, mainly with Kamala Harris, I’m going to vote for Joe Biden,” said Blaque, 57, who lives near Reading and teaches literature of the Black diaspora at Kutztown University. “He just reanimated my need to be part of the process.” She said she spends $7,000 or more a year on out-of-pocket medical bills, even with good insurance through her state university job. She was born with an inflammatory disease called sarcoidosis, and needs up to a dozen medications to stay alive.
Muñoz said she was grateful for the opportunity, thanking ABC-TV, which organized the event, in a Facebook post.
