In deep red West Virginia, Biden’s $3.5tn spending proposal is immensely popular

Working-class people - even Trump voters - understand the Build Back Better plan will benefit them

Elizabeth Masters isn't a natural Joe Biden supporter. A self-described conservative who lives in Parkersburg, in deeply Republican West Virginia, she said she registered to vote in the last election so she could cast a ballot for Donald Trump.

Masters says she doesn't approve when people just stand for a handout" - she doesn't think the United States should be spending money on undocumented immigrants, for example - but says anything that will help people that are trying to do for themselves, I'm all for it".
