George Packer: Working Class Voters Are “Up for Grabs” This Election

Season 2024 Episode 7087 | 18m 27s

Once a thriving community of mostly Democratic union workers, Charleroi, PA’s population has dwindled. The town was revitalized by an influx of Haitian immigrants. But, as special targets of Trump's attacks, the Haitians are now being blamed for the town's troubles. The Atlantic staff writer George Packer explores this in his recent piece "The Three Factors That Will Decide the Election.”
