NEW DELHI: In the lead-up to the highly anticipated 2024 U.S. Presidential election, public sentiment reveals deep divides and impassioned viewpoints. Rohan Dua, Executive Editor of The New Indian, recently interviewed Natalie in Tennessee who crafts custom cookies and cakes.
She shared her thoughts on the current political landscape, expressing strong support for former President Donald Trump. “I’m going to go for Trump,” Natalie said when asked who she thought would emerge victorious. She elaborated on her choice, pointing to her belief in Trump’s track record. “Trump’s been president before; we had a great economy under him. So I don’t really understand why anybody would want the same economy that we’ve just had for the last four years,” she stated, hinting at the perceived economic struggles under President Biden’s administration.

When pressed about her concerns regarding Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential leader, Natalie did not hold back. “I think that she really doesn’t have it together in her head. She’s a terrible speaker. She can’t answer questions, which is concerning,” she said, emphasising her worries about Harris’s ability to handle international diplomacy. “Thinking of her being in front of many world leaders is a scary thought to me because I don’t think she’s going to handle it well,” she added.
Dua inquired further, asking what sets Trump apart and makes him a preferable choice in her eyes. Natalie responded with a clear focus on the former president’s assertiveness. “It’s not that he’s such a likeable guy, because he’s not really, but he gets things done. He is not afraid to speak to anybody and no one intimidates him. He has a lot of confidence,” she explained. She argued that these traits were essential for leading the U.S. on the global stage.
On the topic of President Biden, Natalie agreed when asked if she found him “goofy,” chuckling at Dua’s reference to lighthearted incidents involving the current president. However, her main focus was on Trump’s business acumen and potential to improve the country’s financial health. “I think that he will actually get it done because he’s a businessman and he’s obviously a very successful businessman. So he knows what it takes,” she noted.

The conversation shifted to a broader reflection on the American spirit, particularly in light of Trump’s recent pledge to overhaul the educational system by redirecting funds from certain private universities to an “American University.” Natalie acknowledged the claim that U.S. institutions have suffered under Democratic influence. “Yeah, I can agree on that. I don’t think that people have that same feeling of the American way like we used to,” she remarked.
As the 2024 election result date approaches, these notes from voters offer a glimpse into the deep-seated voices driving voter decisions across the nation.
