CANTON, Ohio – The crowd that turned out on a recent evening to hear Democratic Rep. Emilia Sykes was largely unified in its rejection of the Trump agenda.
But even in front of a friendly audience, Sykes trod carefully.
“Quite frankly, and quite literally, about half of the people … in this district voted for Donald Trump to be their president, and about half of them, almost down the line, voted for Vice President Harris,’’ Sykes said at the outset of the town hall, held last week at the UA Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 94 headquarters, three miles south of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “There’s no way I can be a good member of Congress without taking in all perspectives.”
