Pittsburgh Post-Gazette endorses @realdonaldtrump for POTUS, asking voters to look at his record alone. "This newspaper has not supported a Republican for president since 1972. But we believe Mr. Trump, for all his faults, is the better choice this year." https://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/editorials/2020/10/31/editorial-donald-trump-joe-biden-mike-pence-kamala-harris-presidential-candidate-endorsement/stories/202010310021
In addition to supporting Trump's overall track record, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says that Biden is physically unqualified to be POTUS and that Kamala Harris isn't ready for the top job, either.
No matter your politics, I think this endorsement explains what a lot of people are thinking:
1) Trump's behavior is off-putting, but on kitchen table issues, he's been great.
2) Biden is too feeble to be POTUS, while Harris is too untested to take over for Biden.

One state over in Ohio, the Toledo Blade piggybacks on the endorsement from Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (papers are owned by same company), running the same op-ed - the first time they've backed a GOP presidential candidate in 32 years. https://twitter.com/RyanGirdusky/status/1322927548993601537
Important to note: in an election when energy policy is not really top of mind for most voters, Biden sure made it that way for people in this part of the country. His comment about eliminating oil (despite his team and media trying to fix it for him) may take him down.
