In the swing state of Michigan, the 2024 presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is heating up. Just like in 2016 and 2020, Michigan is a crucial state for winning the presidency. Recently, a diverse group of Michigan voters — five independents, four Democrats, and two Republicans — shared their thoughts on the candidates.

One clear message from these voters was that they want major changes under the next president. For most of them, the economy is the most important issue, and they care more about the candidates' policies than their personal values. Some voters were concerned about Harris's support for sending arms to Israel, while others thought Trump didn't understand financial struggles.

Many voters, including Muhammad, a 25-year-old independent who voted for Biden in 2020, felt that Harris would continue Biden's policies. They thought she needed to be more honest about her administration's failures, like the border issue. While some were excited about Harris's energy and ideas, and the fact that she's a woman representing change, many believed Trump was more likely to win Michigan. Yet, several still saw Trump as dangerous and unstable.
