When Michigan voters are considering their choice for president, they are often motivated by what they expect their candidate will do if elected. However, fear of what the opponent might do if elected can also play a significant role. This year, the Detroit Free Press asked supporters of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris to express their greatest fears about the other candidate winning the election.
Trump supporters cited concerns about a potential Harris presidency, with fears ranging from communism to open borders and decreased quality of work due to cheap labor. They believe Harris is not for the people and that the economy would suffer under her leadership. They also mentioned concerns about immigration, groceries, and the general direction of the country.
On the other hand, Harris supporters expressed fears about a continued Trump presidency, worried about potential attacks on abortion rights, a dictatorial leadership style, and the impact on reproductive rights and healthcare. They also mentioned concerns about Trump’s actions on January 6 and the potential power he would have if re-elected.
Overall, supporters on both sides are deeply concerned about what the other candidate winning the election could mean for the future of the country. These fears are shaping their decisions as they head to the polls in November.
