Pretty indifferent. I mean, I'm always been a Democrat, but I'm a little bit ready for some new change. But I trust him. I think he can make it another term. I'm just, you know, being a little younger. I am ready for someone younger to be in office, but it is what it is. Joseph Hudson voted in Tennessee. I voted for Trump, and I think he'll make a strong president again as long as he stays focused and does not become vengeful.
