| 0:00.0 | This is John Batchelor. |
| 0:02.4 | I spoke to my colleague Selina Zito of the Washington Examiner of the Wall Street Journal |
| 0:06.6 | about Pennsylvania's vote being watched very closely, but not only by American media figures, |
| 0:13.4 | but European, Financial Times, London Telegraph, The Secret Is Out, Pennsylvania. |
| 0:19.4 | So what is to be done? Where to watch in Pennsylvania? I begin dividing |
| 0:24.0 | the state into west and east. I'm from the east, Salinas from the west. However, she corrects me on this vote. |
| 0:30.7 | And what's the driving theme for this vote? And why to look at Bucks County? Not Erie County, |
| 0:36.9 | Bucks County. That's a color county, |
| 0:39.9 | in eastern Pennsylvania. Here's Selina Zito, watching Bucks, the theme of the election, the way |
| 0:46.5 | Pennsylvania is voting. More of this. |
| 0:49.0 | Bucks County has, well, I would actually argue whether it's west of Philadelphia, you get into Bucks County and you may see Donald Trump win that county for the first time and the three times that he has been on the ballot. |
| 1:04.5 | Bucks County has gone from a majority Democrat county to now a healthy majority Republican County. |
| 1:13.1 | So I think what you see in the city centers like Philadelphia and the color counties that surround it in the suburbs are a more progressive lean. |
| 1:25.6 | But what you see anything west of, you know, bucks included, you see a more |
| 1:33.2 | populist, more conservative, these people's lives, whether they're in agriculture, if they're in a |
| 1:40.0 | sea suite, or in they are in manufacturing |
| 1:45.5 | have been profoundly |
| 1:47.5 | impacted by the economy |
| 1:49.3 | and that is the number one driving |
| 1:51.5 | issue in this election. |
