Belfast in Pennsylvania divided as US election polling day arrives

“My husband says how do you watch that day in and day out?” admits Patty Siegfried.

“I said because it’s news and I want to hear everything on both sides.

“It’s so divided here in Northampton County – they say it’s almost neck and neck.”

Patty might listen to everyone but she leaves me in no doubt about who she is supporting.

At one stage, when I ask questions about Donald Trump’s past actions she gets close up to my face and tells me, in no uncertain terms, how she sees it.

“Donald Trump is like me. Tell it like it is. Don’t beat around and just get rid of the bull,” she says.

“I like his rhetoric. I don’t care about his personal business.”

In the Belfasts on both sides of the Atlantic, politics can seem ingrained.

The last few weeks have seen frantic campaigning here in Pennsylvania but winning people over, at the last minute, could be difficult when so many have very clearly made their minds up.
