Honestly, I feel like I have an unpopular opinion. She’s been the vice president for four years, and we haven’t necessarily seen all the changes that were promised. Now she’s promising more. She comes across as a hard-working woman who is smart and who has seen the real world. She’s closer to my generation than Biden or Trump.

I don’t know enough about her to make that decision. Ken, 57, Michigan, white, indep., studio engineer.

I don’t feel like she’s had time to set herself apart from what Biden’s been doing for the last four years. For the most part, she’s run with a similar plan. I don’t know that that’s the best plan. Beren, 40, North Carolina, white, Repub., accountant.

I think I feel similarly. I don’t have a good idea of her policies on things so we know what the plan is for the economy. She gives the impression of a fresh perspective, but I don’t think we’ve had enough time to actually get details as to what that perspective is. Stephanie, 50, Arizona, white, Repub., systems administrator.

Same. I don’t know enough about her policies. Brian, 61, Pennsylvania, white, Dem., carpenter.

What’s her stance on guardrails for A.I. and other technology in the future? Katelyn, 29, Georgia, Latina, unspecified, controller.

What do you like least about her? Moderator, Margie Omero.

I’m curious what folks think Harris would be like as commander in chief. Moderator, Patrick Healy.

I think she has shown a lot of self-control and respect already, even just in the debate. I’m sure there were things that really got her mad during the debate, and she kept it calm and cool. I think it’s a sexist thing to say that women only react with emotion. That’s not true. We are logical. Barbara, 50, Nevada, white, indep., teacher.

It’s my and many people’s opinion, and it’s a lot of people’s opinion, that men base things off logic and females base things more off emotion. And I’m wondering what would happen if someone got her mad enough. Are we going to go to war because of her emotion or from her logic? Prince, 41, North Carolina, Black, Dem., food runner.

That’s why I’d ask it. Last October kind of opened the floodgates, and I think Israel is using that to take out a lot of pent-up frustration on the Middle East. At what point is Israel going too far? Ken, 57, Michigan, white, indep., studio engineer.

I want to know her stance on climate change. I’m assuming she would continue what they’ve been doing to protect and keep things in place; animals are a huge part of my vote. Barbara, 50, Nevada, white, indep., teacher.

And why is Trump still a viable candidate for you? Moderator, Patrick Healy.

I don’t know, to be honest. I’m not really sure if he is anymore. I just can’t decide. Barbara, 50, Nevada, white, indep., teacher. I wonder what our next steps should be. Ken mentioned Israel, and I’m interested in hearing opinions on how Harris stacks up against Trump on various global issues like Israel, Gaza, China, Putin, and Ukraine.

Ken thinks he can be bought.

It’s all about risk management. Trump’s approach to international relations could lead to catastrophic consequences, especially with his willingness to challenge Europe and NATO. We can’t afford to have innocent people suffer because of his decisions.

She seems to have a positive momentum with an inspiring message, unlike the former president who appeals to people’s worst instincts.

The upcoming vice-presidential debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance is crucial. What are your expectations, and how will it impact your vote?

I’m eager to hear the candidates’ policies and how they would govern if they were to take charge.

I’m more intrigued by the upcoming debate, especially since we haven’t heard much from Harris. I hope Walz can provide more insights into what Harris represents.

I’m curious to see if JD Vance will mimic Trump’s debate tactics of providing nonsensical answers.

Have you changed your views on anything in America after learning more about it?

Immigration is something that’s caught my attention. It seems like immigrants are getting financial support to start their lives here, which makes me wish the same opportunities were available to American citizens in need.

My perception of Kamala Harris has evolved from being neutral to having a favorable view.

Initially, I didn’t know much about Harris, but now I see her as a unifying figure.

I was initially unsure about Harris compared to Biden, but once Biden withdrew, I became more supportive of her. I believe we are in a better position now than if Biden had remained in the race. At this point, I’m not worried. Raise your hand if you wish that Biden had stayed in the race and was still the Democratic nominee against Trump. Is there any opinion you’ve held this year or in recent years that you decided you were wrong about? Trump really lost me when he talked about eating cats and giving abortions after the child’s been born already. I thought Roe v. Wade was a bad thing at one point in time, and I’m still very pro-life. But I just don’t think that the government really should be legislating one way or another. I think that choice is important, whereas in the past, I wasn’t so sure that the government shouldn’t make it for women. What do you want to see happen now with abortion rights? I think that there’s a middle ground. I mean, something after a number of weeks nationally, 20 weeks maybe, something that gives plenty of time but also not after viability. But I think what’s more important to me is that we build communities of support for people who choose to have kids and put people in a position to succeed and make sure that child tax credits and whatever support we can put in place to encourage people to build communities and build families — those things are important to me. I was initially of the impression that Kamala was not very approachable or had that connection with the people initially. Once she came out of the shadow of Biden, I see a different Kamala. Let’s say Trump wins in November. What do you think things in America will be like four years from January? There wouldn’t be too much more of the middle class. My job will probably be outsourced. Honestly, we might get some more stimulus checks, but we also might go to war. We’ve already seen four years of Trump. So I think he’s going to have a very big focus on getting the tax cuts he got pushed through last time pushed through. I do wonder what our standing on the world stage will look like, but I think probably the average American will be OK. I think immigration would be really restricted. That could mean well for our economy, for other sectors in America. The police kill three people a day in America, and he wants to expand qualified immunity to absolute immunity to the police. With his policies, we would be in a police state. I think the climate crisis will be horrific. I think a lot more places will be underwater, and I worry that women’s rights will be eviscerated. I think the country will be even more polarized than it is now. Let’s say Kamala Harris wins in November. What do you think things in America will be like four years from now? I don’t know that too much would change. A foreign conflict is something we wouldn’t willingly walk into, especially if Trump were president. Hopefully, there will be progress on women’s rights. It’s important that the government works together and passes bills. If Harris wins, it could mean taking the head off the snake. MAGA’s future without Trump is something I hope for. Who’s the snake, and what’s the head? I’m wondering who is truly undecided. I don’t think Trump could say anything to change my mind, but I would like more specific policies from Harris, like the $25,000 home-buyer tax credit. I want to know Harris’s economic and immigration plans. I need to hear more from Kamala Harris to consider voting for her, despite agreeing with some of Trump’s policies but disliking his character.
