"People are panicking when there’s no reason to panic yet. So until something horrible happens under his watch, then I’m down you know, to make some changes. Right now, too many bad things have been happening before Trump even got into office. And I just would rather try something new. Let’s try his way. Give him a shot to make the change."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Dinora Sharpe, Donald Trump supporter from Las Vegas:
"I was more worried before. I’m a little bit, (I) feel a little bit more secure under Trump because I don’t know, I just have more faith and confidence in his ability to lead. If we’re going to go into war. I have a feeling that they put a little bit more thought into it. And like, his philosophy is America first and I’m all for it."
8. Wide pedestrians on sidewalk

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Kate Polak, local:
"I think the national security leak is very disappointing, and I’m quite concerned about it. I mean, our national defense is one of the most important elements of keeping our nations secure. And if there are accidents relating to that, I think people need to step up and not only apologize, but potentially step aside as well, because after all, that is literally their job and they’re making the big bucks for it."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Rob Newman, Pennsylvania voter:
"I’m very concerned, especially when they can’t, they deny everything. You know, people aren’t stupid today. There’s too much on social media. I think I knew a lot more than they claim that they knew. Today. As of this moment, somebody, I think it was (John) Ratcliffe that said, well, I just found out maybe this morning. I heard it yesterday morning. I’m sure he heard it too."

STORYLINE:
Voters in Boca Raton, Florida, had mixed reactions to news that a Signal group chat conversation among top White House officials was leaked Monday.
Top national security officials for President Donald Trump, including his defense secretary, texted plans for upcoming military strikes in Yemen to a group chat in a secure messaging app that included the editor-in-chief for The Atlantic, the magazine reported in a story posted online Monday. The National Security Council said the text chain “appears to be authentic.”
Trump initially told reporters he was not aware that the highly sensitive information had been shared, 2 1/2 hours after it was reported. He later appeared to joke about the breach.
The material in the text chain “contained operational details of forthcoming strikes on Iran-backed Houthi-rebels in Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing,” editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg reported.
It was not immediately clear if the specifics of the military operation were classified, but they often are and at the least are kept secure to protect service members and operational security. The U.S. has conducted airstrikes against the Houthis since the militant group began targeting commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea in November 2023.
Just two hours after Goldberg received the details of the attack on March 15, the U.S. began launching a series of airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen.
