WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. — It's one the few things Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump agree on: opposing the sale of U.S. Steel to the Japanese company Nippon Steel .
"I'm pissed," said Chris Kelly, the mayor of West Mifflin, a small town near Pittsburgh.
Kelly, a Democrat, said he was initially skeptical of Nippon buying U.S. Steel, which operates plants in West Mifflin and surrounding communities known as the Mon Valley.
"I couldn't agree more with President Biden," she said.
