Washington, Nov 02, (V7N) — As the 2024 presidential election approaches, many Americans are feeling stressed and anxious. The race features former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, but recent events—like assassination attempts and rising tensions over issues such as immigration and the economy—have heightened fears among voters.
In interviews across the country, voters expressed a range of concerns. In Arkansas, Laura Henderson, a Trump supporter, said everyone feels on edge as Election Day nears. In Georgia, Graham Stewart worries about safety for his transgender relatives if Trump wins. In Michigan, Emily Gregory fears her daughter’s job prospects under Harris, even if it means losing access to abortion rights.
Experts note that anxiety is rising. Dr. Arash Javanbakht, who studies stress, has seen more people seeking help as the election intensifies. Many voters feel torn, with Trump’s supporters arguing he is the key to economic recovery, while others view a second Trump term as a threat to democracy.
Liberals express fear over Trump’s past actions, including the January 6 Capitol riot, and worry about potential loss of rights, such as access to abortion and healthcare. In contrast, some Trump supporters believe his presidency brought economic stability and are willing to overlook personal conduct for the sake of financial security.
Amid this tension, voters are drawing battle lines online, sharing insults and debating fiercely about the candidates. Some express hope that Harris can bring a fresh perspective, while others long for the economic policies of the past.
As the election looms, many feel uncertain about the future, with a mix of hope and dread about what the results will bring. Despite the heated atmosphere, some Americans express a desire for unity and moving forward after the election.
