How seniors who voted for Harris are feeling about Trump's win
Pat Levin, 95 years young, is wrestling daily with something new and depressing.
“It’s left me very afraid,” she said of the 2024 election result. “Afraid of the future. Afraid of everything.”
Her first memories of politics are of Franklin Roosevelt, and the Pennsylvanian has lived through Vietnam, Watergate, the September 11 attacks and more. And yet this feels more significant, more threatening.
“I want to fight,” Levin said in an interview last week. “I don’t want to fight. I think I have to. Because I think there’s no such thing as staying neutral. I think once you stay neutral, it’s the oppressor who wins and the oppressed who suffer.”
Hear what older voters who backed Vice President Kamala Harris are saying in the wake of the election:
Levin is among the voters who participated in CNN’s All Over the Map project, an effort to track the 2024 campaign through the eyes and experiences of Americans who live in key battlegrounds or are part of critical voting groups, or both.
