ALLENTOWN, Pa. –– Heather Cassidy has lived in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley for decades, selling fruits and vegetables at a local farmers market. A lifelong Republican and a three-time Trump voter, Cassidy said she won’t ever vote for a Republican again.
“They’re screwing themselves because nobody is going to vote,” Cassidy told NOTUS. “You will have your boomer Republicans who watch [Sean] Hannity and all that stuff go out and vote. But people like me, normal people, dealing with the cost of living, we’re not voting.”
Cassidy said she’s consistently voted for Republicans because the party best aligns with her values as a Christian. But as the Trump administration has become increasingly involved in foreign conflicts, driving up the costs of housing, gas and groceries in her area, Cassidy said she’s lost faith in the party and the president.
