Bethlehem sits in Pennsylvania's Northampton County, where voters have an uncanny knack for predicting the outcome of the US presidential race.

It's a swing county within a swing state that voted for Barack Obama twice, then Donald Trump, then Joe Biden.

Since 1912 the county has correctly swung with the nation all but three times: In 1968 when Richard Nixon won office and then 2000 and 2004 when Republican president George W Bush defeated Al Gore and then John Kerry.

This election is incredibly tight with both Kamala Harris and Trump making late efforts to sway voters at rallies just days out from the November 5 vote.

The latest New York Times/Siena poll has voters across the nation split at 48 per cent when it comes to their preferred president. Adam Harvey reports.

Imagine having a business that exclusively sells imported goods and thinking import tariffs are a good idea

Bottom line is this.

The doctor considers the border important and thinks Trump has their best interest.

Why would someone who has your best interest, influence the republicans to oppose the border bill to invoke chaos and give himself a better chance at election?

Imagine your business relies SOLELY on selling imported goods and you're still gonna vote for the guy who's running on smashing your livelihood with tariffs. Smh

It amazes me that some ordinary Americans think Donald Trump is on their side. Didn't 2017-2021 show you that the only person he cares about is himself?! And as for the carpet seller supporting tariffs that'll directly put his business at risk: no words.

I am a disabled Iraq War Veteran with PTSD. I have never voted republican, but I put my politics aside on 9/11.
My conservative family victim-blamed and estranged me when my rape was covered up with bad discharge papers.
I can think of no lower way to choose politics over family. I wish I was the same divisive partisan prick when they were crying about terrorists.

"Reasonable and smart Americans" Just because someone is smart at one thing does not mean that they are an informed or intelligent voter. Immediately cutting to the guy praising trumps business acumen while apparently never considering he is in a business that will be hit hard by tariffs is also hilarious. Great stuff

“If Trump gets elected he will destroy everything!”

Hang on… hasn’t he already had 4 years? Did he do any of that?

“No, but… but next time!! You’ll see!!!”

This business guy selling carpets has no idea what he is talking about. He's voting for D.J. Chump
because of his business acumen? Every business of Chump's has failed!
