Residents of crime-ridden Chicago reveal how they REALLY feel about Kamala Harris... and whether they were better off under Trump
Chicago voters are disclosing how they really feel about Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential contest against Donald Trump as their city grapples with crime.
Most are still backing Harris, but some admit to DailyMail.com that they felt better off under former President Donald Trump and how he handled the economy, a top concern.
Chicago crime stats show the city hit a decade high for murders in 2023, seeing 617 deaths just last year, the most in the nation for a major city. And crime has infiltrated the DNC after a Democratic delegate was robbed at gunpoint by men in ski masks early Wednesday morning.
Speaking to local residents of the windy city during the Democratic National Convention this week, DailyMail.com found many actually have doubts about the Democrat frontrunner who will be making her pitch to voters on the final night of the DNC later today.
'I think Kamala has been doing a lot of the heavy lifting for this administration,' Phil said. But he went on: 'The jury's still out to see what she's going to be offering, specifically minorities, black people, people like the city of Chicago.'
U.S. Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris speaks at a campaign rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S., August 20, 2024. Voters in Chicago expressed admiration and skepticism towards Harris, partially devoted due to party lines, but many were unsure of her political stances
'I'm glad the DNC is here so she can see how the city works and operates,' he continued, disclosing, 'I'm still on the fence as to who I would vote for.'
'Nine times out of 10, it would be that Democratic Party elect, which is Kamala, but the jury's still out.'
'I really don't know what she stands for right now,' Phil told DailyMail.com. 'She's given one interview since she's put herself in the race, so I just want to hear more from her.'
He was not the only one that was unsure of the vice president's ability.
'I don't really have nothing nice to say. I've heard her speak a few times, and I just, I don't know she's just not a really great candidate,' Chicago resident Maritza said.
'I would say same thing with Donald Trump,' she added. 'I'm not really for either one what they support, or where they're trying to put this country.'
However, Maritza did say she was more drawn to Donald Trump because of his economic policies.
'Our economy is really in the dumps right now, and it just really needs to be in a better place. U.S. dollars being [beat] by so many countries, so it's kind of really frightening.'
Maritza told DailyMail.com she is unsure who she will vote for, but is leaning toward Donald Trump if she had to choose between the two
Matt said he is backing Harris because Trump has 'done some stuff that I don't really find too acceptable'
Matt, a Chicago resident in his twenties, told DailyMail.com he is planning on voting for the vice president.
'Probably Kamala just because, I mean, Trump's kind of done some stuff that I don't really find too acceptable, so I'd rather choose the lesser evil.'
He added that her background in law 'brings a lot to the table' while Trump 'was just born with money.'
The crime in Chicago is his top priority in this upcoming election, something that has been increasingly a problem he admits.
Pierre, an immigrant from Haiti, also said he will be backing Harris in November.
'She'll be the first female president,' he told DailyMail.com, adding he likes her immigration policy and hopes to see her implement it from the Oval Office.
Pierre said he is excited to back a racially mixed woman for president
But on the issues he finds most important - crime and the economy - Pierre said Harris still could show improvement, calling her ability on those fronts 'questionable.'
'But I'm quite sure she would learn, you know, how to solve some of those problems.'
Trump, 'has a track record that's not that great,' Pierre added, noting his past bankruptcies.
'I think she'll be a positive role [model] to our whole country, and somebody who probably will unite us, I hope,' Jeannette said of Kamala.
The older Chicago resident who was out running errands did share she does not know much about the vice president's policy record, however.
Some Chicago voters were unsure of Harris's economic policies
Jeannette admitted she does not know many of Harris's policies but likes her nonetheless
'She's done quite a bit of things,' she claimed adamantly before conceding she has 'not kept track of what she's did.'
Ken told DailyMail.com: 'I would definitely support the Democratic ticket. So I would have voted for Joe Biden, and I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris.'
When pressed on what he likes about Harris's record he quickly responded: 'I think that she's in favor of democracy, as opposed to being a fascist dictatorship.'
Joe, a 'lifelong Democrat' was exuberant about the possibility of a Harris presidency.
'I think it would make history that we have our first mixed racial black woman as president of our country.'
'I think it's breaking the glass ceiling, and I'm all for that.'
