that is a common theme we are hearing in bucks county. h as well, but it's the rural counties we're going to be looking at in pennsylvania. who wins this state, is that the candidate who can run up their vote in places like where you are? i vote in places like where you are? ~ . �* , vote in places like where you are? ~ . �*, . , are? i think that's a big question- _ are? i think that's a big question. james - are? i think that's a big question. james cordle| are? i think that's a big - question. james cordle famously said, you're looking at pittsburgh, philadelphia and alabama. you have these big rural patches who vote traditionally republican. it seems that to your point, it's going to be who not only runs of the vote in philadelphia and pittsburgh, but also in the suburbs around those cities and in these colour counters where we are as well. in doylestown, this is a town that has voted democrat in the last few elections. last time a republican won this county, it was 1988. that being said, i would like to plenty of republicans who said

no, i'm in a lovely cafe in downtown doylestown in pennsylvania, in bucks county, pennsylvania.wn. it is beautiful. you should definitely come here. caitriona, you're in a library or a fake library? i'm in a fake library. yeah. no, it's not... i mean, full disclosure, any library you see on television these days is fake. let's be honest. i don't think there's a librarian on the planet that would let me speak this loudly if i were in a library, but i am in the library corner of the bbc washington bureau, so i have nipped into the library corner to have this chat with you guys, because it is very busy in this bbc bureau. we've had a lot of reinforcements come into town for the debate this week. of course, it's been another crazy busy week and a crazy busy month and a crazy busy year, but i'm delighted that us three are going to find the time every week to just get together and have a chat about what we've noticed from the campaigns, what's impacting voters ahead, of course, of the three of us being together in studio on the big night, election results night in november, and a few

you heard from some of the voters in bucks county.important these philadelphia suburbs are. >> reporter: oh, they are extremely important, norah. good evening to you. the city of philadelphia certainly is extremely important as well. if you'll recall back in 2020, joe biden and kamala harris won the city of philadelphia with 81% of the vote over their competitor, donald trump, at the time. this is an extremely important city. the suburbs are important as well. democrats need to hold on to voter registrations, hold on to their support they are in areas like bucks county which is about an hour and 15 minutes away from the city of philadelphia. so every vote is going to matter in this case, and voter turnout is also going to be very important as well. in 2020, some of the highest voter turnout since 1984 in the city of philadelphia. so, kamala harris is going to need that kind of energy and that kind of support, that kind of voter turnout here in this area in this election. >> norah: natasha, you've heard us talk about pennsylvania is su

absolutely right, it is fascinating to listen to them as well, wanted to come here because bucks countyowners. that we've really focused on talking to today, were actually endorsed time right now as you can probably tell what a toy store and because school is in session there aren't a whole lot of kids in session there aren't a whole lot of kids and go get that you see a lot of parents, grandparents, and of kid to have been coming in all morning as the have been talking to people. it will to the ono whose with us and thank you so much. it's been great spending time here and we've been talking with people or should the county today really about the county today really about the cost of doing business. it has a bit about how difficult things are at the moment or if they are difficult.— they are difficult. i've been in business _ they are difficult. i've been in business almost - they are difficult. i've been in business almost 18 - they are difficult. i've been | in business almost 18 years they are difficult. i've been - in business almost 18 years now so we _ in business almost 18 years

and there were two things about it that i was really thinking about, you know, coming out to bucks countys, so outside of philadelphia, we're about an hour's drive outside of philadelphia. and you've really seen the growth of these collar counties as people have moved further out from the suburbs into the areas further and further outside of the big city, and that means that, of course, the demographics and the politics also change a little bit as well. we talked to a staunch trump supporter yesterday who said, "i don't like that all these liberals keep moving out here and changing the politics out here." and i think that's a sentiment that we've seen among some of the more republican—leaning voters we've been speaking to. but the other aspect actually tees up to something that caitriona mentioned a little bit earlier, which is housing. you know, it's the groceries, the gas prices, but every single person we've spoken to has complained about the price of rent or the inability to buy a home. and if you think about, you know, the american dream is often so based on that concept of buying yo

that is where these persuadable voters are talking bucks county, to reach them you have to go into thein the area. so our focus is not to hit those blue voters that are concentrated in the metro areas but really in the rings around there. we are doing a surround sound campaign. not only are we up on television but we are very, very narrowly targeted with digital, with something called ctv, it is on your hulu and other places where you stream. we are on radio. we are trying to hit people with a lot of different voices but all of whom are sort of, a lot of the college-educated suburban voters who were the persuadable voters that made up the margins in the last key elections. >> i got to ask because, chris hayes was talking about this and rightly so in the last hour and i have been thinking about it a lot. pennsylvania. it seems like this is the, as it was in 2020, pennsylvania has 19 electrical college electoral votes, how much work needs to be done in that state for democrats. you are going up with these billboards in three cities in pennsylvania. >> reporter: yeah, pennsylvania is the

michael just mentioned the suburbs, he knows them as well, if not better than i do, this is bucks countythe more blue collar philadelphia suburb, no more blue collar of the collar counties. joe biden won that by the least, he went all those suburban counties, but he won that by the least then you move up period in north hampton county. it was a tie. what do you find in these places? look over here at lehigh county where allentown is a margin, but not as big as in the philadelphia suburbs same and monroe and over here, i just want to get to lackawanna that scranton that's where joe biden was born. he wins. you say that's a healthy margin, but it's not as big. look how deep the blue is down in philadelphia. and the more affluent suburbs. what are you saying when you say i want to pose for agi, i get michael. she's open to the charge on flip-flop. but what he's trying to do is not repeat hillary clinton's mistake until these people as well, you work with your hands. i respect what you do. >> david, you were wondering, say something. >> yeah. anderson, i was going to say that too. michael. l
