A voter of African descent from Philadelphia expressed his intention to support former President Donald Trump during a segment on NewsNation on Monday morning. He claimed that the current administration, led by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, has not been beneficial for the populace.
Since the inauguration of Biden and Harris in January 2021, there has been an approximate 20% rise in prices, with the consumer price index (CPI) reaching a peak of 9% in June 2022, the highest in forty years. Naomi Miller, a first-time voter, conveyed to the network that he is evaluating policies as he makes his decision for the upcoming November election.
“It don’t matter about whether you like him or not, it matters is about his policies. And people’s not doing good out here with the Democrats,” Miller said, adding. “I feel like this year, it’s time to make a statement with Trump.”

In January 2021, when Trump concluded his presidency, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) experienced a year-over-year increase of 1.4%, with the average price of a gallon of gasoline reported to be below $2.25, as per GasBuddy.com. By July, the CPI had risen by 2.9%. Regarding economic performance, Biden’s approval rating stood at a mere 38.8% according to the RealClearPolitics average of recent surveys, while only 34.8% of respondents rated his handling of inflation positively. Additionally, a voter from Pennsylvania expressed her support for Harris, emphasizing her stance on abortion.
“When we are talking about freedom and rights, I feel like Harris is more fighting for everybody’s rights, and she’s more open to reproduction rights, which is very important to me,” Deanna Beloschtsky said.
