Yes, Bidenomics is working here in Pennsylvania. But it might not be enough to win the White House | JoJo Burgess

As a steelworker, I know how hard people are struggling - and I fear that next week they may fall for Trump's simple answers

• We speak to voters in the states that will decide the US election about the issues that matter to them most

Where I come from, the economy" isn't just about lines on a graph or numbers on a screen. It's about how much money people have in their pockets and how much their groceries cost. It's about how many shops are shuttered on their high street and whether they can afford to make the rent.

In Pennsylvania, when voters go to the polls next week, the economy will be weighing very heavily on their minds. Our state will probably decide who becomes the next president of the US, and how we vote will also be a test of Joe Biden's policies. The economy is one of the top issues for voters in our state. Many of them will be asking: am I in a better place now, compared with where I was four years ago?
