“ Hi, I’m Joanna. I live in Florida. I am a former Trump voter, and in 2024 I’m voting for Kamala Harris. I voted for Trump in 2016, back in 2016, he seemed like the right choice. He brought new excitement and fresh energy to the Republican party that we hadn’t seen in a long time.

“There was just, there was so much stagnant everything in the world at the time, the economy was stagnant, the war was going on, it’s stagnant. Nothing was happening. And really Republicans weren’t really bringing a lot to the table other than just the threats to repeal

“Obamacare or you know, increase in national security here and there.

“But once he became president, that did not seem to be going so well. I mean, everything from the protests to outright riots stemming from Black Lives Matters. We had so much unrest in the country, it felt like the least safe time, that I’ve known this country, it seemed unrecognizable at times, like, are we on the verge of civil war? What is this? This was not the country that I thought we were going to have under him.

“It seemed to just take a left turn and just go horribly wrong. I was disappointed with a lot of things in his presidency, but you know, a lot of things were good too. But as time went on and he just seemed to be a horrible leader. I don’t think other countries were respecting us, respecting him. Certainly, our country was in a mess and his solution for a lot of things was basically temper tantrum.

“Being in the military, I had taken an oath to defend the Constitution. I did not take an oath to support the president or the party or anything else like that. And I thought, you know, at the end of the day, I’ve gotta do what’s right by the Constitution. In essence, to save it from somebody who keeps threatening to tear it up.

“He does not respect law and order. He does not respect the rules of this country, and I don’t think he answers to any higher power. I don’t think he believes in God. I don’t think he has any sense of a spiritual self at all. And I think he just finds himself just unchecked by anybody.

“Whereas, I believe Harris, the cabinet picks that they’ve had in the current administration have been fine. I don’t see huge issues with any of them. Again, I might disagree with a lot of them, but they don’t seem incompetent in any way. Um, they seem to be getting the job done, whatever the job happens to be.

“So I feel fairly confident that should she be reelected, the world’s not gonna fall apart. We’re going to be okay.”
