“I definitely do see a lot fewer Trump signs here than I did in 2020,” said Brandon DiMarco, a life-long resident of Erie, Pennsylvania, on a parkway overlooking the blue expanse of Lake Erie.
DiMarco, who works two jobs and is studying to become a financial adviser, voted for Donald Trump in 2020, and had initially planned to vote for Robert F Kennedy Jr in next week’s US presidential election. But now he is backing Kamala Harris because of her economic policies, and sees evidence that others are doing the same.
“I see more people in Erie flip-flopping towards going from Republican to Democrat than I do vice versa. I don’t think it’s drastic, but I definitely see some more people shifting their political outlook towards that,” he said.
