++SOUNDBITES SEPARATED BY BLACK FRAMES++

Portland, Oregon – 21 July 2024
1. SOUNDBITE (English) David Strong, Retiree and Democratic voter:
“I think it’s best. I don’t, didn’t see him beating Trump. And so, it will be interesting to see how all things hash out. Looks like it’s going to be Kamala Harris, which I am fine with. But I just didn’t feel like he was our best shot to beat Trump.”

2. SOUNDBITE (English) David Strong, Retiree and Democratic voter:
“You know, it’s not a given that Kamala Harris is going to be the nominee. If she’s not, then I think there’s going to be more bad blood within the Democratic Party. That’s why I’m uncertain. I just I’m not, I’m not positive what’s going to happen next. And it makes me a little bit nervous.”

3. SOUNDBITE (English) David Strong, Retiree and Democratic voter:
“I’m still very frightened about what would happen if Trump gets reelected. And even if I were – I started off in my younger days as a Republican. And even if I was Republican today, I don’t think I could back him. He’s just, just a horrible person.”
++EDIT ENDS ON A SOUNDBITE++
STORYLINE:
David Strong, a 64-year-old retiree and Democratic voter from Denver who was on vacation in Portland, Oregon, said he was relieved that U.S. President Biden was leaving the race after a debate performance he described as “shocking and terrible.”
“I think it’s best. I didn’t see him beating Trump” he said of Biden dropping out. “I just didn’t feel like he was our best shot to beat Trump.”
But he added that he also felt worried: “I’m not positive what’s going to happen next, and it makes me a little bit nervous.”
