Trump won 14 counties in Pennsylvania where Democrats had a voter-registration advantage. The voters there are calling on the Democratic Party to moderate or risk losing again. sppeoples reports:
In this Friday, Sept. 20, 2019, photo, Darrin Kelly, president of the AFL-CIO's Allegheny County Labor Council, points out voter registration data while at his office in Pittsburgh, that shows that Democrats across western Pennsylvania have been voting Republican. Kelly is warning national Democrats that the party is moving too far left for many middle-of-the-road Democrats in western Pennsylvania.
“Democrats are becoming way too extreme,” Shaun Majors, a 42-year-old high school graduate who has worked at the nearby Beaver Valley Power Station for almost his entire adult life, said before last week’s event began. “I voted for Trump last time, and I would again.” The highly educated urban Democrats may be the most vocal, particularly on Twitter. But it is the working class in places like Beaver County who may ultimately decide Trump’s fate.
Beaver County, a region just outside Pittsburgh set along the Ohio border, is one of 14 counties in Pennsylvania that Trump carried in 2016 where Democrats had a registration advantage. There were more than 59,000 registered Democrats and 40,000 registered Republicans in the county that year, but Trump ultimately carried Beaver County by almost 16,000 votes, according to data compiled by The Associated Press.
“This country is still made up of a very strong middle-of-the-road voice,” said Darrin Kelly, president of the Allegheny County Labor Council, which represents roughly 100,000 union members in the region. Democrats, he said, are “not getting on the ground out here and listening to what we have to say.”
