Voter’s dismay with Don goes viral

RALEIGH: When Jeff Terebey was starting a new life four years ago he was 26 years old and happy to cast his vote for Donald Trump.

“I had just gotten out of the military, so I had been receiving a lot of the rhetoric against Hillary ( Clinton) and I think in terms of political capabilities I was willing to give him a chance,” he said.

Now working on the pricing of healthcare for the tech industry and “disgusted” at how the Trump administration has handled the pandemic, Mr Terebey ( pictured) said he felt terrible about his vote.

“I am ashamed to say I voted for Trump,” the 31- yearold from Raleigh, North Carolina, said last week.

“I regret it.”

Mr Terebey is one of more than a record 70 million A m e r i c a n s who w have cast their vote early ahead of the election next week. w

“I voted early in person last week and I voted for Biden/ Harris,” he said.

“I’m fed up with the current state of affairs.”

It’s not just the belittling of people wearing masks to stay safe that turned him off the President, he was also frustrated by his suggestions that COVID was some sort of hoax. But in some parts of the US, there is certainly a big dose of cynicism towards what they see as over- hyped scaremongering about the need to curtail many activities to stop the spread of the virus. Despite the US averaging 70,000 new cases a day and a death toll past 225,000, many Americans still refuse to social distance or wear a mask.
