“I was upset that he dropped out of the race. [But] I woke up today with a different outlook because I don’t like a quitter, and I wouldn’t say I liked the fact that the Democrats were not being unified like the Republicans. But I wanted Kamala to be at the top of the ticket in the future, and now she is. I do feel encouraged today with Kamala at the top of the ticket. So, I’m looking forward to the first black female president. I do hope that she does unify the country.”

“I was happy he dropped out, but I’m stuck with who will replace him. I’m all for Black women. Let’s get together and uplift and empower our Black women. But I don’t think she’s authentic. I’ve been reading a lot of your articles where she kept black men [locked up] and incriminated a lot of black men that she could have helped them. I wish it were somebody like Joe that was more authentic. At one point, she was claiming she was Indian and not necessarily black. To me, it’s no different than what Trump is doing. I don’t want him. I know he doesn’t like us, but she pretends she is for us only for her cause. That’s what she’s done her whole life.”

“I believe it will be an interesting race because One, she’s Black. Two, she’s a woman. Third, there was still some controversy about how she was as a D.A. On the other hand, Trump has a lot of followers, but in my opinion, he’s a cult leader. [I hope] people get out and vote for who [they feel is] their best person that they think will take care of our country.”

“I was relieved because I was really for Biden and his family and relieved that maybe there’s a chance of beating Trump. I hope that Kamala gets the nomination, that she wins, and that people accept that you can have a female president. It’d be great to have the first black female president. I mean, we’re in peril. We’re in a moment of crisis. And she’s running against a guy that has 34 felonies. So, I don’t know how that’s a choice.”
