I covered the 2016 election and stayed in touch with many of the #Trump voters I met along the way, to see if they’d stick with him. I decided to check in with some of them - here’s what they think of him now....not scientific of course, but interesting to follow up...👇🏽

Ok so this is interesting. I met Jan in Arkansas in 2016. She didn’t like him much, but felt he was the lesser of two evils. She’s voting for him again. “Honestly, it is with a very heavy heart that I will again be voting for #Trump,” she says, citing religion as a key factor.
Ben, #Michigan. Voted for #Obama, then #Trump. Is sticking with @realDonaldTrump.
Why? A strong economy pre-Covid, trade renegotiations + foreign policy. “I believe he alleviated a war with Korea by meeting with Kim Jong-un.” In 2016 Ben wrote a song for #Trump. Here it is:
