Trump won Pennsylvania's 20 key electoral college votes in the 2016 election, but skepticism is growing on whether or not he can clench the battleground state in the upcoming presidential election.
If the president keeps railing against unions, it doesn't appear he'll win over a lot of potential supporters.
