Republican-leaning county in West Virginia is welcoming President Biden's $1.9 trillion Covid-19 rel

Three observations

1. Why is the reporter wearing a mask when he is speaking with mask wearers and not when speaking to non mask wearers....just weird

2. These people will still vote Republican next election

3. Our fate was in the hands of these voters

83% for the carrot in 2016 is not what I would call leaning. In 2020 it went up to 85%. These folks bought into the "Save Coal" bullshit.

you see the same people talking about how great mining jobs are and good paying but they all seem unemployed and struggling. If they made so much money and their lives were so great what happened to it. No retirement, no savings, ramshackle housing. What gives ? Time to give it up people and find someone to tell you the truth, coal is dead. Gone and won't be back. Ask Mr.Manchen and Mr. McConnell to bring green renewable energy jobs to your states. Trump told you coal was back. Is it ? Said he'd bring your jobs back, did he ?
