Entin caught up with Ford automotive worker Misti Robinette, a longtime Democrat who switched over for Trump because of economic issues.

Her home is decorated with photographs of Trump, including one snapshot with her and the businessman-turned-president. She attended his latest inauguration in January.
“For the most part, I think he’s doing great,” Robinette told Entin.
She has some reservations. She said the president’s tariffs on imports could affect her job at the auto plant, where some shifts already have been shortened. Robinette is hopeful the strategy makes life better in the long run.
On immigration, things are less certain for her. Robinette said she appreciates that the U.S. border is more secure, but she’s concerned about some deportations.
She said a local father her family knows was swarmed by armed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after dropping his son off at school.
“I’m not for that,” she said.
Robinette described the man, a longtime resident, as “such a good person for our community.”
Immigrants who are “working and trying to do the right thing and trying to make a living for their family” should not be targeted, she said.
Entin also spot-checked the opinions of some of Robinette’s co-workers at the Ford plant. Their feelings about Trump were mixed.
