reaction continues to pour into last night's presidential debate between vice president kamla Harris and former president Donald Trump throughout the course of this election will be bringing you glimpses of the race from Key Northeast Ohio County so with that in mind news 5's John kic has reaction tonight from Lake County in presidential elections Lake county is a Time spin of bell weather for the rest of the state and by extension the country as a whole and while the vote here has shifted Republican in recent election Cycles it still is a county where voters like Jerry
and Connie have shown an ability to split their vote I've always been an independent okay and I voted both Democrat and Republican and he approached Tuesday's presidential debate with the same attitude even watching the wide spectrum of cable analysis after to see what they were saying I looked at MSNBC what they said they said kamla Harris was right they made Donald Trump look bad I went over to Fox it was just the opposite after watching the debate though he says he needs no outside opinion makers to help shape his own in this election right now
now I think Trump is the biggest obstacle to our democracy since the Civil War Susan on the other hand in the beginning I was the never Trumper is now solidly in the former president's Corner an opinion only reinforced by what she saw in the debate what I saw her doing was gaslighting President Trump taking credit for all the things he stands for and putting the blame on him for all the things that they've been doing wrong Mitchel says he's likely to vote for Trump but I mean I might change my mind uh just depends I
mean I feel like Trump wants to be a dictator but that's basically my opinion you know but you'll vote for him yeah I vote for him Rondo was like many voters unlikely sway by a single performance in this debate or any was there anything that would help you make up your mind or change your mind no no it wasn't any to me it wasn't any mind changing statement by anybody I've already got my mind made up party leaders on both sides here in Lake County argue the side by side made their job easier her performance
last night versus uh former president Trump's certainly uh I think put a little more wind in the uh uh the sales of of the democratic side you can see the track record of Donald Trump when he was here and when he was president and you can see the bad track record of Biden Harris in Lake County John kask news5
