Grundy - the coal town that voted Trump
In this rural part of Virginia almost 70% of people voted for Donald Trump. Grundy is a town in a heavily coal-mining region, which is usually considered a stronghold for the Democrat party. But now residents there voted for the Republican candidate because "he was pro-coal". Dirk Hall is general manager and owner of the WMJD radio station based in Grundy, who says most people are very pleased with the election result.
