Earlier, Mme Price had answered several questions from his subscribers, including some relating to American politics, in the run-up to Tuesday’s election.
Reservations about Harris
The American, who was born in the state of Washington, declared that she had given her vote to the Republican candidate, who she said was “a strong leader for our country”.
“I was also impressed by [le colistier J.D.] Vance and his potential. As for the possibility that [Kamala] Harris becoming the first woman to become president, I have my reservations, she added. I imagine our first president as powerful, intelligent, a person capable of having an impact that will last.
“Unfortunately, I don’t believe Kamala possesses these qualities.”
Angela Price says her comments got her several messages suggesting she “go to hell.”
“We must resist the urge to divide ourselves,” she pleaded. […] Can we stop calling each other names and work towards a future in which we can co-exist peacefully and respectfully, no matter how our opinions differ?”
