Vaniece Burnett, 40, an Amazon employee from Phoenix, says she’s skeptical of both candidates because they both say whatever they need to say to get elected and important policy changes will take place in Congress.
“If we don’t change Congress, nothing else will change,” she said, adding that she’s leaning toward voting for Harris because of her stances on abortion, education and housing.

“I think the government needs to help people more, especially after the pandemic,” she said. “Right now, it feels like everyone is going to be in poverty soon. We need something set in stone that will help people get back to where they need to be.”
Joe Smith, 43, an electrician from Phoenix, says he’s voting for Trump because of his policies on the economy and the border. “When [Trump] didn’t get back in office, I watched what happened to the country and it just didn’t sit right with me,” he said. “Everything’s gotten more expensive. And we have a gazillion people who — I wouldn’t say shouldn’t be here — but should’ve been vetted better.”

Trumell Smiley, 42, a mental health worker in Tucson, says he cares deeply about voting for someone he trusts. He’s still on the fence about Harris even though historically, he’s a Democrat. “I don’t want to make the wrong decision,” he said. “I can tell you that if Trump was a Democrat, I still wouldn’t be voting for him. I just don’t believe in that guy.”
