With the 2024 election race tightening, we chatted with 15 late-deciding voters from swing states like Pennsylvania and Michigan. These voters were torn between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, and their opinions could drastically alter the election outcome. Even though many had switched between Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020, their latest impressions were crucial.
Trump’s familiar rallies and continuous focus on the 2020 election results didn't impress these voters. They felt he lacked innovative solutions to their problems. In contrast, Harris faced different challenges. Voters saw her as a continuation of past administrations, rather than someone likely to bring significant changes. They often compared her unfavorably to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Despite their doubts, many voters expressed lingering misgivings about Trump, which made Harris a more appealing choice. The general sentiment was that Harris might win more votes than Trump. Voters are likely to base their decision on past experiences and concerns over consistency.
