The upcoming 2024 presidential election is at the forefront of Delawareans’ minds as they navigate their daily routines. Republican candidate former President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris are making their final pitches to voters in the days leading up to Election Day.
GOP voters in New Castle County have expressed concerns about the state of political discourse in the country and are hopeful for a new administration that will lead America in a positive direction. Retired police officer Norm Jacobs, a Trump supporter, cited his opposition to illegal immigration and support for Israel as reasons for his vote. However, data shows that immigrants do not commit crimes at higher rates than native-born Americans.
On the other hand, Wilmington resident Kane Phillips, a registered Republican, will be supporting Kamala Harris this year. He hopes for an end to what he describes as “hate-mongering,” referencing derogatory comments made at a recent Trump rally. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe faced backlash for making inappropriate remarks about Puerto Rico, while Tucker Carlson falsely described Harris as “low IQ” and inaccurately portrayed her racial background during the rally. Trump himself has also questioned Harris’s intelligence.
As the election approaches, voters in Delaware are focused on important issues such as immigration, foreign policy, and the tone of political discourse in the country. The outcome of the election will have significant implications for the future of America.
