It's a US election that saw the largest voter turnout in over 100 years, amid a COVID-19 pandemic. In a deeply divided America, supporters of Republican President Donald Trump and Democrat former Vice President Joe Biden dug in deep, leading to a nail-biting count of the votes. But it's swing voters, specifically in key states like Pennsylvania, who may have helped make all the difference.
The state of Pennsylvania, which was unexpectedly won by Trump in 2016, has 20 electoral college votes and has been widely considered the state that could tip the whole election. The ballot count in Pennsylvania, after polls closed, began with Trump taking a huge lead. But as mail-in ballots were added to the tally, Biden rapidly closed in and took over.
#INSIGHT spoke to a Pennsylvanian farmer about why he voted for Trump in 2016, why he was changing his vote to Biden in 2020 and why many of his fellow farmers who are brand-loyal, registered Republicans, were unlikely to follow.
