‘I Actually Love Him Now’: Formerly Reluctant Trump Voter Explains Her Change Of Heart

A Pennsylvania voter named Jackie explained Friday how she went from reluctantly voting for President Donald Trump in 2016 to enthusiastically supporting him in 2024.

Trump won Pennsylvania in both 2016 and 2024, but lost the crucial commonwealth in 2020. Jackie told journalist Mark Halperin on “The Morning Meeting” that she voted for Trump in 2016 because she “couldn’t vote” for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but that she was happy to support him in 2024 after experiencing former President Joe Biden’s administration and witnessing Trump’s resilience.

“I sat the presidential out in ’20 … Hey, but you know what? I actually love him now,” Jackie said. “Like, it was, ‘I’m gonna hold my nose and vote for him.’ And after the last four years … I like everything about him.”

Halperin asked if she had ever voted for former Presidents Bill Clinton or Barack Obama. She said she never voted for Clinton, but did vote for Obama once.
