宾夕法尼亚州伊利。-在宾夕法尼亚州一个关键战场县的一个联合设施的背景下，乔·拜登周六成为了总统唐纳德·特朗普只是假装关心工人阶级选民，他们在四年前帮助将“锈带”转向共和党阵营。
“任何真正诚实工作一天的人都会看到他和他的承诺，”拜登在一个管道工和其他商人的培训设施中对一群蒙面、社交距离较远的人说。
最近几周，这位民主党挑战者在经济上给特朗普造成了沉重打击，从对总统如何淡化新型冠状病毒及其经济影响的全面起诉，到拜登的中产阶级教养与千万富翁的儿子和自称的亿万富翁之间令人沮丧的个人对比。
拜登的观点在伊利县最具决定性。长期以来，它一直是民主党的堡垒，是美国人口最多的县之一，在2016年从民主党转向共和党。
特朗普以近1.2万票的优势超过民主党人希拉里·克林顿，四年前，巴拉克·奥巴马总统以1.9万票领先共和党人米特·罗姆尼。这导致特朗普以约4.4万票的优势赢得了该州的净3.1万票。特朗普是自1984年罗纳德·里根总统以压倒性优势再次当选以来第一位获得伊利提名的共和党总统候选人，也是自乔治·布什总统以来第一位赢得宾夕法尼亚州的共和党旗手选举1998年。
伊利县在2018年中期选举中强势反弹至民主党。
“总统只能从公园大道看世界。我在斯克兰顿和克莱蒙看到的。你们都是从伊利看到的，”拜登告诉工会官员和成员，他指的是他童年时在宾夕法尼亚州和特拉华州的家乡。
他哀叹“美国历史上最不平等的复苏”，因为新冠肺炎在春天让经济陷入停滞。投资者阶层和收入最高的人都很好，拜登说，“但是下半部分得到了什么?”
这位前副总统和他的助手认为，选民将流行病与经济联系起来是至关重要的。皮尤研究中心(Pew Research月30日至10月5日进行的一项民意调查发现，当选民被问及他们信任谁来处理冠状病毒时，拜登拥有广泛的优势。拜登在这个问题上以57%对40%领先特朗普。然而，特朗普以52%对51%的优势成为选民“对经济政策做出明智决策”的选择。
拜登利用在培训设施的停留来展示他对学徒计划的了解，并强调商人在更大的经济中发挥的作用。
拜登说:“如果纽约的每个投资银行家都罢工，美国将不会有太大变化，但如果每个水管工人都决定停止工作，每个电工都会停止工作，这个国家将会陷入停顿。”
2019年4月，拜登在匹兹堡工会大厅发表了他竞选活动的第一次演讲，此后他积累了一长串工会支持者的名单。总统的连任竞选正在寻求2016年的重演，当时克林顿赢得了许多相同的工会支持，但大量普通成员从领导层分裂出来支持特朗普。
总统和他的共和党盟友一直在推动付费媒体和社交媒体消息传递，认为拜登的税收和能源政策将削弱工业州的经济，特别是宾夕法尼亚州等能源生产州。特朗普一再错误地表示，拜登将禁止水力压裂作为开采天然气的手段。拜登提议只禁止在联邦土地上进行新的租赁，这只是美国水力压裂作业的一小部分。
拜登说:“不管他撒了多少谎，我都不会禁止水力压裂。”。“句号。”
Biden hits Trump on economy in critical Pennsylvania county
ERIE, Pa. -- With the backdrop of a union facility in a key battleground county of Pennsylvania, Joe Biden on Saturday blistered PresidentDonald Trumpas only pretending to care about the working-class voters who helped flip the Rust Belt to the Republican column four years ago.
“Anyone who actually does an honest day’s work sees him and his promises for what they are,” Biden told a masked, socially distanced crowd at a training facility for plumbers and other tradespeople.
The Democratic challenger has hammered Trump on the economy in recent weeks, from sweeping indictments of how the president has downplayed the novel coronavirus and its economic fallout to a withering personal contrast between Biden’s middle-class upbringing with that of the multimillionaire's son and self-proclaimed billionaire.
Nowhere could Biden’s arguments prove more decisive than in Erie County. Long a Democratic bastion, it was among the most populous counties in the nation to flip from the Democratic column to Republicans in 2016.
Trump outpaced Democrat Hillary Clinton by almost 12,000 votes, four years after President Barack Obama led Republican Mitt Romney by 19,000 votes. That accounted for a net 31,000-vote swing in a state that Trump won by about 44,000 votes. Trump was the first Republican presidential nominee to carry Erie since President Ronald Reagan's landslide reelection in 1984 and the first GOP standard-bearer to win Pennsylvania since George Bush'selectionin 1998.
Erie County rebounded strongly to Democrats in the 2018 midterms.
“The president can only see the world from Park Avenue. I see it from Scranton and Claymont. Y’all see it from Erie,” Biden told union officers and members, referring to his childhood hometowns in Pennsylvania and Delaware.
He lamented “the most unequal recovery in American history” since COVID-19 ground the economy to a halt in the spring. The investor class and top wage earners are fine, Biden said, “but what did the bottom half get?”
The former vice president and his aides believe it’s critical for voters to connect the pandemic to the economy. A Pew Research poll conducted from Sept. 30 through Oct. 5 found Biden with a wide advantage when voters were asked who they trusted to handle coronavirus. Biden topped Trump on the question 57% to 40%. Yet Trump held a 52% to 51% edge as voters’ choice to “make good decisions about economic policy.”
Biden used the stop at the training facility to show off his knowledge of apprentice programs and underscored the role that tradespeople play in the larger economy.
“If every investment banker in New York went on strike, nothing would much change in America,” Biden said, “but if every plumber decided to stop working, every electrician, the country would come to a halt.”
Biden delivered the first speech of his campaign at a Pittsburgh union hall in April 2019, and he’s since piled up a long list of union endorsements. The president’s reelection campaign is looking for a repeat of 2016, when Clinton won many of the same union endorsements but large swaths of rank-and-file members split from their leadership to back Trump.
The president and his GOP allies have pushed paid media and social media messaging arguing that Biden’s tax and energy policies would cripple industrial state economies, especially energy-producing states like Pennsylvania. Trump has repeatedly stated, falsely, that Biden will outlaw fracking as a means to extract natural gas. Biden has proposed only barring new leases on federal land, a fraction of U.S. fracking operations.
“No matter how many lies he tells, I am not, not, not banning fracking,” Biden said. “Period.”
