3. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeremy Lee, San Francisco voter:
"So my vote is very strongly for Kamala Harris. She is a homegrown Bay Area native and really understands the needs of immigrant communities, low income people, people of color. And she’s just really going to reflect the needs of our country."
4. Various of voting center inside San Francisco City Hall
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeremy Lee, San Francisco voter:
"I’ve very strong feelings against Donald Trump. I firmly believe that he’s going to take our country backwards and that he just won’t pay attention at all to the needs of immigrants, low income people, seniors, working families, everything. On a policy level that I see from him benefits the wealthy and the top one."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Utkarsh Jain, UC Berkeley student:
"My vote is going to go for President Trump. I think I’ve witnessed the past the four years that he was in office and, you know, taking out the Covid scenario. But I think the other three years of his administration were really, really good. The economy was really good."
8. Students walking on UC Berkeley campus
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Utkarsh Jain, UC Berkeley student:
"So I’m looking at the economy. I’m looking at the crime and homelessness, especially in California. We have a lot of foreign conflict internationally that needs to be resolved and that’s been started for the past three years."
10. Students walking on UC Berkeley campus
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Utkarsh Jain, UC Berkeley student:
"Her being an Asian-American. I mean, that really has nothing to do with my pocketbook or my what they’re going to be able to afford a house in the next two or three years. Right? Skin color, what her gender is does really doesn’t matter to me. And frankly, it shouldn’t matter to most voters because that’s not what we’re trying to accomplish."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Frances Hsieh, San Francisco voter:
"I think what she means for representation, you know, to have the first female president, to have the first AAPI president you know, to have the first female Black president, I think, you know, it’s very inspirational to have her as a candidate."

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Francis Hsieh, San Francisco voter:
"I think reproductive rights and health care. Super, super important. This is how, you know, women cannot have control over their own bodies and that own bodily autonomy. It extends to many other things. And, you know, in that same vein of reproductive care is health care."

"It will be for Kamala Harris and will not be for Trump at all. And when it comes to Kamala, I believe she is for the people. You know, middle class. And health care is a big issue with us."
