they don't use washington bureau chief in his poll travel to the former steel manufacturing hope of johnstown in pennsylvania. to find out what matters to voters there. it may look like just any other small post industrial town in america, but it is places like johnstone that could decide who to next to as president will be drawn. stone is in pennsylvania, a so called swing state, one of a handful that has the potential to sway the outcome of a national election tier every vote counts. it's why jeffrey plumber and his colleagues are out knocking on doors, trying to convince fellow pennsylvanians to vote for harris and boss. if we don't do it, i mean who else is going to do it? we have to get out here and get these people to vote and hopefully we can get them on our side to vote us and we're out in this area, just canvassing, making sure was playing on button in november if you plan on that. but what about probably okay, i don't know for now. okay, so studying it, tracking feedback is crucial. jeffrey records to people tells him they will vote for the data is then shared with other union repre

one thing i will say about johnstown is i love this community.here, you come across the bridge and go over a beautiful river. there is a view you get where you are driving up to a factory and you look behind you and you see a church set against the mountains. the mountain is on fire with the colors of fall and i think to myself, what a beautiful town johnstown, pennsylvania is and you all must be proud of it. i'm proud to be here. but it also says to me or represents at the greatness of america and frankly what happens when american leaders screw up. as much as we are proud to be standing in this great facility, johnstone has gone through tough times because a generation of american leaders, let's be honest, republicans and democrats, decided that we didn't need to make in america anymore and johnstown bore the brunt of that failure of leadership just like it bears the brunt of kamala harris' leadership. to me what donald trump's presidency represents more than anything is we are not leaving behind the communities like johnstown anymore. we are g

johnstown is still suffering from reaganomics. 12,000 or 14,000 workers gone. he let steel be dumped on this country and that's what happened. that was before nafta. that was in the 1980's. we have had also the population loss here, it's unbelievable. we went from 63,000 people to 18,000. the county went from 212,000 to 133,000. those are lost jobs that will probably never come back. we have a mill that is about 12 miles long, sitting empty, practically. there are some small companies there it will never be the same as what it used to be. i definitely think reaganomics was as disastrous as nafta was. guest: i agree with you. as i mentioned, milwaukee for example, within four years from 1979 to 1983, lost a quarter of its manufacturing jobs. i know the steel industry, in youngstown, there is a day that people called black monday, in 1977 when the first layoffs happened. it was announced in youngstown and they laid off 5000 people without warning. people still remember where they were like jfk's assassination, when they heard that news. it sort of ushered in a lo
