#MyOwnFuckingExitPoll There were 4 Trump voters in my immediate circle of family and friends, 2 of whom I’m no contact There were at least 25 Harris voters all white except one (we’re a white family 🤷♀️) slightly more women. These Harris voters include A former prison guard, on disability; KS A mid-level manager who will lose her job because of tariffs; KS A teacher; AL A small business owner in a regulatory field, former Trump voter; NY Retired daily church-going Catholic; RI 1/2 #USPol
