‘There’s A Lot Of Reasons’: First-Time Trump Voter Explains Why 2024 Was Her Breaking Point

A Connecticut mother explained on Thursday why she voted for President Donald Trump in 2024 after casting ballots for independent candidates in 2016 and 2020.

In an appearance on journalist Mark Halperin’s “2WAY Tonight” Axios’ Trump White House reporter Marc Caputo asked a woman identified as Alex when she decided she had to vote for Trump rather than an independent candidate in the 2024 election. She cited the treatment of children and parents under former President Joe Biden’s administration as the main motivator.

“There’s a lot of reasons, but I would say the biggest reason was what was done to my children during the Biden years regarding masks and vaccines and coming after parents,” Alex said. “A lot of what was going on in the schools. And I basically wanted a return to the late ’90s … and Trump, to me, seems like a return to the late ’90s. I want inappropriate jokes. I want fun.”

Earlier during her appearance on “2WAY Tonight,” Alex expressed outrage at Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland issuing a memo on Oct. 4, 2021
