Working-class Philadelphia Democrats may be planning to vote for former President Trump in November.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Wednesday about growing trends among poorer wards and districts in the Pennsylvania city to shift towards the Republican Party despite years of being solidly blue.
One example the report cited included 27-year-old Gabriel Lopez who registered as a Democrat and voted for Hillary Clinton for his first election in 2016. Since then, he changed his registration to Republican and voiced his support for Trump.
"Democrats keep saying [Trump] is going to bring down the economy, but he was already president for four years, and taxes were lower," Lopez said. "We’re tired of the same politics. We got a different type of guy, and the people actually love him."
