MONACA, Pa. _ Terri Mitko is sure there are former supporters of President Donald Trump who aren't going to be voting for him again, because she lives with one: her husband.
"There was a whole 'I don't want to vote for Hillary' contingent. And Hillary's not running this time," says Mitko, an attorney and chairwoman of the Beaver County Democratic Party. "Trump was a breath of fresh air and had this shtick going about draining the swamp. ... Well, now we're onto him."
Beaver County, a hardscrabble western Pennsylvania manufacturing town in the midst of constructing a giant new plastics plant along the Ohio River, is one of the far-flung _ "forgotten," the president would say _ areas that delivered a larger-than-anticipated margin for Trump in 2016. He carried it by 19 points over Hillary Clinton, netting 15,000 votes, about a third of the 44,000 total votes he won the commonwealth by four years ago.
