COVERAGE THIS WEEK.
NEXT, WE TURN TO OUR PROGRAM
PARTNERS AT MILWAUKEE PBS, WHERE
REPORTERS TOOK TO NEIGHBORHOODS
TO HEAR FROM VOTERS.
10/36 HOST PORTIA YOUNG HAS
MORE.
>> WE'VE HEARD FROM THE POLLS,
PUNDITS AND POLITICIANS.
NOW IT'S TIME TO HEAR FROM THE
VOTERS THEMSELVES.
MILWAUKEE PBS PRODUCERS HEADED
OUT TO THREE KEY MILWAUKEE
COUNTY NEIGHBORHOODS, WHERE ALL
EYES WILL BE LOOKING AT ELECTION
DAY.
TURNOUT TO ASK PEOPLE WHO
THEY'RE VOTING FOR AND TO TALK
SOME PORCH POLITICS.
>> THE NOVEMBER ELECTION IS LESS
THAN THREE MONTHS AWAY AND
REGARDLESS OF WHO WINS, THIS IS
A PIVOTAL MOMENT IN THE COUNTRY.
WITH ALL THE CHANGES WE'VE SEEN
IN 2020, WE WANTED TO HEAR FROM
THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE FINAL
SAY: VOTERS.
>> SO WE WENT TO THREE MILWAUKEE
COUNTY NEIGHBORHOODS TO ASK
PEOPLE WHO THEY'RE VOTING FOR
AND THE ISSUES THEY CARE ABOUT
MOST.
>> WE STARTED ON MILWAUKEE'S
NORTH SIDE IN SHERMAN BLOCK.
>> THEN WE HEADED TO THE SOUTH
SIDE, TO THE BURNHAM PARK
NEIGHBORHOOD.
>> WE FINISHED IN WEST ALLIS
WHERE IT'S MORE OF A PURPLE MIX.
>> WE SAW YARD SIGNS OF EVERY
FLAVOR.
>> THE DEMS CHOSE MILWAUKEE FOR
THE CONVENTION.
SO THE BIG QUESTION REMAINS.
IF YOU HAD TO VOTE TODAY, WHO
WOULD YOU VOTE FOR?
>> BIDEN.
>> WHY?
>> DEMOCRAT.
BETTER THAN -- ANYBODY BUT
TRUMP.
I'M BEING HONEST WITH YOU.
ANYBODY BUT DONALD TRUMP.
>> I WOULD VOTE FOR BIDEN.
>> WHY?
>> TO GET TRUMP OUT OF OFFICE.
>> DEFINITELY WOULD BE BIDEN.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP.
>> YEAH.
>> AND WHY FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP?
>> I FEEL LIKE HE'S KIND OF --
HE DOESN'T NECESSARILY FOLLOW
LIKE THE REPUBLICAN WAY.
>> BIDEN IS MY CHOICE BECAUSE
TRUMP IS JUST IRRITATING AND I
JUST CAN'T TAKE WHAT HE IS
SAYING ABOUT THE BLACK LIVES,
ABOUT ANYTHING.
IT JUST DRIVES ME NUTS.
>> JOE BIDEN.
>> TRUMP AND PENCE.
>> AND WHY THAT TICKET?
>> WELL, I'M REPUBLICAN, IS ONE
THING.
AND I JUST THINK WE NEED TO KEEP
THINGS MOVING IN A SAFE AND
CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT.
>> DO I HAVE TO SAY IT?
>> WE'D LIKE YOU TO.
>> GONNA BE TRUMP.
>> WHY IS THAT?
>> I DON'T LIKE HIM.
HE CROOKED.
HE JUST LIKE SOME OF MY
GRANDKIDS.
HE PLAY GAMES.
>> OBVIOUSLY BIDEN.
>> AND ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT HIS
CANDIDACY?
>> LET'S JUST SAY HE'S THE BEST
OUT OF A BAD SITUATION.
>> WELL, I'M HOPING TRUMP WINS.
THAT'S WHO I VOTED FOR THE LAST
ELECTION.
I'M A LITTLE SCARED IF HE
DOESN'T WIN WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN
WITH ALL THE STUFF THAT'S GOING
ON.
>> JOE BIDEN.
>> AND WHY IS THAT?
>> BECAUSE TRUMP, HE'S -- HE'S
NO GOOD.
>> AND --
>> HE'S A BIGOT.
AND INSTEAD OF HIM BRINGING
EVERYBODY TOGETHER, HE'S
DIVIDING EVERYBODY.
>> WHAT ISSUES ARE MOST
IMPORTANT TO YOU?
>> WHAT ISSUES ARE MOST
IMPORTANT TO ME?
FIRST OF ALL, TO WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO DO TO FINALLY FIX THIS
WHOLE PANDEMIC AND HOW YOU'RE
GOING TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THE
PEOPLE THAT LOST THEIR JOBS.
>> WHAT ISSUES ARE THE MOST
IMPORTANT TO YOU?
>> EMPLOYMENT, THE ECONOMY.
>> EMPLOYMENT.
>> THE RACISTS.
I REALLY HOPE THAT WE CAN GET
PAST THAT.
I MEAN, I'M 61 YEARS OLD AND
I'VE SEEN A LOT AND I KNOW IT'S
A LOT OF STUFF I DIDN'T SEE.
BUT BEING AT MY AGE AND WHAT WE
HAVE TODAY.
>> SOMETIMES IT'S HARD FOR US
WITH THE NEW RULES.
>> DECENT JOBS, DECENT PAY.
>> TOO MANY PEOPLE OUT HERE WITH
TOO MANY GUNS AND TOO MANY
PEOPLE'S GETTING KILLED FOR NO
REASON.
>> WELL, BEING RETIRED RECENTLY,
THE ECONOMY.
ALSO, I'D LIKE TO SEE INFLATION
KEPT AT BAY.
>> IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET
SCHOOLS BACK OPEN, BUT ONLY IF
WE CAN DO THAT SAFELY.
>> SO MANY PEOPLE DON'T HAVE
JOBS AND I'M IMPACTED BY IT
BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A JOB.
I WORK FOR THE SCHOOL.
AND I'M JUST HOPING AND WISHING
THAT EVERYTHING JUST TURN AROUND
AND WE COULD JUST GET BACK THE
WAY IT WAS.
>> WE FOUND THAT PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S SUPPORTERS WERE
CONCERNED ABOUT MAINTAINING THE
RULE OF LAW DURING THESE
UNCERTAIN TIMES AND FOR A LOT OF
BIDEN SUPPORTERS WE SPOKEW
