The swing voters who helped elect President-elect Donald Trump are feeling optimistic about the next four years, hoping for change, especially when it comes to lowering prices of everyday goods. While many are willing to give Trump leeway on fulfilling his promises, some are closely watching his actions. Some voters, like Rebecca from Rhode Island, are not expecting prices to go down but hope for fairness. Others, like Karley from Ohio, acknowledge that Trump can only do so much. Despite challenges, voters like Melanie from Utah believe that change may take time to happen.
These swing voters ultimately backed Trump because they felt that the Democratic Party, represented by Vice President Kamala Harris, was out of touch with their concerns about prices, economy, immigration, and safety. They are looking for Trump to shake up Washington and address key issues. While some voters are confident in Trump’s ability to deliver, others like Ray from New York are hopeful that Trump will at least make an effort to address their concerns.
Many swing voters are giving Trump a honeymoon period as he starts his next administration, willing to give him leeway with his promises and other headline-grabbing comments. While some swing voters are open to supporting Democratic candidates in the future, they believe that Democrats need to be real and honest about addressing the needs of voters. Ultimately, these swing voters are looking for results and action on key issues, even if success may take time.
