离选举日只剩下一周多一点的时间了，民主党和共和党的总统竞选活动再次聚焦于长期处于战场的宾夕法尼亚州，它是白宫的潜在关键。
唐纳德·特朗普总统2016年以44，000票险胜Keystone State，不到整个联邦总票数的1%。这一微弱优势，加上其作为民主党提名人乔·拜登的家乡州的地位，使许多左翼人士乐观地认为，它和它的20张选举人票可以在这个周期内翻转。
美国广播公司的“本周”节目作为其“六赢”系列节目的一部分，在竞选的最后阶段前往宾夕法尼亚州，了解该国经济和地理最多样化的地区之一的选民的优先事项，并发现拜登的竞选活动是否成功地窃取了特朗普的支持。
60岁的坦尼娅·西里茨基住在费城郊区，她在2016年投票支持特朗普，并表示她仍然“百分之百”支持他的所有政策。她指出，总统在过去四年里的一言一行都没有让她停下脚步。
“他提起的事情正是我和我的朋友在厨房里谈论的，我们坐在一起喝酒，谈论政治和政府，”西里茨基告诉《本周》的联合主播玛莎·拉德茨。“他说得很对。”
但有很多选民表达了买家的悔恨。摩根和凯蒂·哈里斯(Katie Harris)也在四年前为特朗普投票，他们告诉拉德达茨，他们改变了对总统的看法。
“这是一切的噪音，”摩根·哈里斯说。“我觉得我的声音有时会迷失在噪音和两极分化中。”
“我只是希望乔能降低噪音，如果没有别的事的话，也许至少能带回一些专业精神，一些平静，”他补充道。“不要发微博。只是最基本的。”
过去的一周，拜登和特朗普都在宾夕法尼亚州进行了竞选活动。周六，这位前副总统在该州东半部的雄鹿和卢泽恩县的免下车集会上发表了讲话，而特朗普周二在伊利举行了一场活动。拜登竞选团队还部署了最突出的代理前总统巴拉克·奥巴马费城事件星期三。
“无能和错误信息的程度——如果我们只做基本工作，可能不会死亡的人数，”奥巴马周三在该市的一次圆桌会议上哀叹，批评特朗普和政府对冠状病毒的反应。“它对低收入群体的影响如此之大。这是我不仅仅有信心可以修复的事情。”

凯蒂·哈里斯也指出了这些问题，加上种族关系，是她今年决定的关键因素。
“随着乔治·弗洛伊德的去世，随着COVID——他有很多机会，再次走到一起，说，‘听着，让我们一起解决这个问题。“让我们成为一个统一者，”她说。“一次又一次，他给了这些机会去扮演总统，但他没有。”
退休人员朱迪·奥尔托拉也报告说，冠状病毒大流行使她远离了总统。民主党人倾向于政府的流行病应对措施，以努力赢得资深选民，特别是在摇摆不定的佛罗里达州，那里有大量退休人员。迄今为止，民意调查显示信息起作用了。
“当病毒最初袭击邻居、我社区的朋友时，我们为医院、疗养院、朋友制作了一千多个口罩，这是一项艰巨的工作，”奥尔托拉告诉拉德达茨。"然后(特朗普)甚至连面具都没戴就无礼了."
奥尔托拉补充说，她不确定她所在社区的其他人是否已经改变了对总统的看法，这让她很困扰。
“我不知道你怎么能再支持他了，”她说。“你就是不像他那样待人接物。”
选民米格尔·里维拉(Miguel Rivera)是波多黎各人，在宾夕法尼亚州生活了25年。他说，他不喜欢从拜登那里听到的东西，并解释说，他和其他人的投票不一定与传统的政党关系有关。
“在佛罗里达州和费城，有很多人投票支持共和党，”他说。“这并不一定意味着他们是共和党人，但那里的候选人是承诺他们有更光明未来的人，仅此而已。”
里维拉补充说，特朗普为黑人和拉丁美洲裔美国人“做了很多”，他说他今年将连续第二次投票给特朗普。这是总统的关键一票，为了防止11月份的蓝色浪潮崩溃，总统与共和党有色选民的斗争可能需要克服。
After tight 2016 race, Pennsylvania poised to be linchpin to election win
With just over a week remaining until Election Day, both the Democratic and Republican presidential campaigns are once again honing in on the perennial battleground state of Pennsylvania as the potential linchpin to the White House.
President Donald Trumpnarrowly won the Keystone State in 2016 by 44,000 votes, less than 1% of the total ballots cast across the commonwealth. That tight margin, combined with its status as Democratic nominee Joe Biden's home state, has many on the left optimistic that it and its 20 electoral votes can be flipped this cycle.
ABC's "This Week" traveled to Pennsylvania in the campaign's homestretch as part of its "Six for the Win" series, to learn about voters' priorities in one of the most economically and geographically diverse regions of the country and to discover whether Biden's campaign has been successful in its effort to steal back support from Trump.
Tanya Siletsky, 60, who lives in the Philadelphia suburbs, voted for Trump in 2016 and said she still supports all of the his policies "100 percent." Nothing the president has said or done over the last four years has given her pause, she noted.
"Things that he brings up are exactly what me and my friends talk about in our kitchen, where we're sitting around having drinks and talking about politics and government," Siletsky told "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz. "He's exactly spot on."
But there are plenty of voters expressing buyer's remorse. Morgan and Katie Harris, who also cast ballots for Trump four years ago, told Raddatz that they changed their minds about the president.
"It's the noise of everything," Morgan Harris said. "I kind of feel like my voice some days is lost in just the noise and the polarization."
"I'm just hoping that that Joe can maybe tone the noise down, if nothing else, and maybe just at least bring some professionalism back, some calm," he added. "Don't tweet. Just the basics."
This past week, both Biden and Trump made campaign stops in Pennsylvania. On Saturday, the former vice president spoke to drive-in rallies in Bucks and Luzerne Counties in the state's eastern half, while Trump held an event in Erie on Tuesday. The Biden campaign also deployed itsmost prominent surrogate, former President Barack Obama, forevents in PhiladelphiaWednesday.
"The degree of incompetence and misinformation -- the number of people who might not have died had we just done the basics," Obama lamented during a roundtable in the city Wednesday, criticizing Trump and the administration's reaction to the coronavirus. "The degree to which it has impacted low income communities so disproportionately. That's something that I'm not just confident that it can be fixed."
Residents line up to enter Chester County Voter Services in advance of the 2020 General Election in West Chester, Pa., Oct. 23, 2020.
Katie Harris pointed to those issue as well, plus race relations, as key factors in her decision this year.
"With George Floyd's death, with COVID -- he had many opportunities, again, to come together and say, 'Look, let's let's figure this out together. Let's be a unifier,'" she said. "And time and time again, he's given these opportunities to act presidential and he doesn't."
Retiree Judy Ortola also reported that the coronavirus pandemic turned her away from the president. Democrats are leaning into the administration's pandemic response in an effort to win over senior voters, particularly in the swing state of Florida, home to an abundance of retirees. Thus far, polling shows thatthe message is working.
"When the virus initially hit neighbors, friends here in my community, we made over a thousand masks for the hospitals, nursing homes, friends, and it was a lot of work," Ortola told Raddatz. "And then (Trump) had the disrespect to not even wear a mask."
Ortola added that she's unsure, however, that others in her community have changed their minds about the president, something that bothers her.
"I don't know how you can support him anymore," she said. "You just don't treat people the way he treats people."
Voter Miguel Rivera, a Puerto Rico native who has lived in Pennsylvania for 25 years, shared that he doesn't like what he's heard from Biden and explained that his and others' votes weren't necessarily related to traditional party affiliations.
"There's a lot of people in Florida, in Philadelphia, voting for the Republican Party," he said. "That doesn't mean necessarily that they are Republican, but that the candidate that is there is the one that promises a brighter future for them, that's all."
Adding that Trump "did a lot" for Black and Latino Americans, Rivera said he will cast his second consecutive vote for Trump this year. It's a key ballot for the president, whose struggles with voters of color Republicans may need to overcome in order to prevent a blue wave from crashing come November.
