Pennsylvania working-class voters leaning towards Trump, feel Biden is trying to 'undercut' fossil fuel jobs

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. 

Sabo told the outlet his family was mostly "Blue Dogs," a group of moderate, centrist Democrats. 

"The Blue Dog Democrat has the same exact feelings and thoughts as back then, but now they’re voting red," he said. Thieler, according to the WSJ, is now a part of his town's "Democratic professional class," as he's the manager for a software company.
