With one week to go, hope and fear surround US election

The Manila Times

With one week to go, hope and fear surround US election  With just one week until the US election, voters' emotions are starting to intensify.  In the key swing state of Arizona, university students attended a Get Out the Vote event for Harris-Walz.  Nineteen-year-old Ezequiel Feliciano said, "I definitely feel anxious, you know? With the candidate Kamala Harris, I do feel like there is actually hope for what's going to happen. It just feels like it could go either way and that's obviously scary, yeah.”  Early voting continues in another critical state, North Carolina. Resident John Miller was not impressed with the candidates.  "There's no good choice, on so many levels, but especially in the presidential race. It's terrifying to me," he said.  Harris and Trump are neck-and-neck in the polls of the battleground states that will determine the winner of the U.S. presidential election. Both candidates are working hard to win over the remaining sliver of undecided and independent voters in those states while turning out their respective base supporters to vote early or show up at ballot stations on Nov. 5.

00:05With one week to go for the election, I definitely feel anxious, you know?

00:23I mean, definitely for the first time in my life, I mean, I'm 19, I feel hopeful at least.

00:29Just about the election, you know, with the candidate, Kamala Harris, I do feel like there

00:35is actually hope for what's going to happen.

00:39And at the same time, I have just so much anxiety, especially with recent events, the

00:44rally, the crazy rallies that have been going on.

00:47It just feels like it could go either way, and that's obviously scary, yeah, so.

00:54Yeah, this election's very monumental.

00:59The possibility that he might win concerns me greatly.

01:01He is not a fit leader for our state, for our country.

01:07As we've seen from his first presidential term, things did not end up well.

01:10He continues to say things that are incorrect, so it really worries me, but I do have hope

01:15that Kamala Harris is going to win and that there will be a more prominent Democrat turnout.

01:27Once again, our political systems have given us no real choice.

01:32There's no good choice on so many levels, but especially in the presidential race, it's

01:38terrifying to me.
