Axios held of a focus group of Michiganders who voted for Obama in 2008 and/or 2012 and then voted for Trump in 2016, and asked them for their reactions to the Wednesday Harris vs Pence debate. Here’s what they had to say:
• “‘Biden’s not going to make it four years, so Kamala Harris is going to be president and I have zero trust she can be president, so I’m just picking the lesser of two evils at this point’ said Shelley D. Everyone else in the group agreed.”
• “Others described feeling ‘scared’ because Harris ‘actually did a better job than Pence,’ as one participant put it.”
• “‘I’m fearful of this woman because she knows how to strike chords with the people of America,’ said Matt T. ‘She’s basically utilizing everything that has happened this year to attack the Trump campaign and she does it in such a way that she’s making really strong points, but I don’t think they’re true. So she’s coming across very powerful.”
