bucks county, a swing county outside philadelphia we're hearing a lot of what we heard in our nbc news poll, folks are concerned about biden's age. they're concerned about how the administration is doing on the economy from younger voters, i have been hearing a lot about climate. folks are worried that the administration hasn't really done enough, hasn't talked loudly enough about issues around climate change. but i want you to hear from one voter we met today, a gentleman named mo, he's an independent voter, a small business owner and he is frustrated with things as they stand right now. but i want to give a little bit of a twist to what he told me. take a listen, and then we'll talk on the other side >> i did biden i did biden. and i'm not happy with it. i did trump in 2016. i just -- i switched over because i felt like this country was losing itself. >> reporter: is there a chance that trump could win you back? >> no, for me to go republican,
