Fervent Trump supporters from last elections air doubts over abortion and the man himself in state where turnout will be key
Terri Burl has come full circle.
The local Republican party official was a founding member of Women for Trump in her corner of rural Wisconsin eight years ago when the then New York businessmanās run for president was little more than a joke to political pundits.
Burl twice campaigned enthusiastically for Donald Trumpās election but, after he lost the presidency to Joe Biden in 2020, she feared the chaos of his years in power had made him unelectable. The former social worker and substitute teacher switched her support to Floridaās governor, Ron DeSantis, and then Trumpās former UN ambassador Nikki Haley.
But now Burl is back campaigning for Trump in Oneida county.
āI donāt feel excited. But I have a bunch of āNever Trumpā friends and this is my argument to them: I say, you better vote for Trump or you get Biden,ā she said.
This unfortunately doesnāt seem to translate to average peopleā¦ they are still just as vocally trump supporters as they were before. Maybe more so.
Only thing thatās going to convince me is the election results.
Most of the āaverage peopleā have been lulled by Russian and American oligarch propaganda through Fox, OAN and Newsmax, repeated often by loud drunks and druggies. Funny how all these upstanding self-reliant red states are also net welfare states and states with the highest homicide rates
