Showing Original Post only (View all)PA dairy farmer says that Trump is "sort of back-stabbing the main people who got him into office" [View all]
In the clip, introduced by New Day host John Berman, correspondent Vanessa Yurkevich began, Farmers have had a tough couple of years between bad weather and this trade war that has persisted. Nationally, farm bankruptcies are up 20 percent in just the last year and, here, dairy farms in Pennsylvania are dwindling. We spoke to some farmers who supported the president but say theyre rethinking their vote for 2020.
Introducing dairy owner Bill Boyd of Mount Bethel, she asked, Is the dairy business profitable?
Just like everything else in agriculture right now, barely profitable, he replied.
I think hes sort of back-stabbing the main people who got him into office in the Midwest, all those midwest states helped to vote him in and also Pennsylvania, Boyd explained. He just left us out.
Despite that, when asked if he would vote for Trump in 2020, Boyd conceded, Unless they come up with a better alternative, Im going to vote for him again.
