“A woman is not ready to become president, that’s the message”
Upon their arrival, the guests fall into the arms of Richard, 80, who welcomes them with his Harris t-shirt: “I really thought Harris would score better. A woman is not ready to become president, that's the message. This is already the case in other countries. America is not ready for this, we must be lucid.“
Richard serves a coffee, which he hopes is comforting, to Paula, originally from Virginia: “I am really sad for my country. I'm sad for the world. It's a tragic day. I am really surprised by this victory.“There are about twenty of them in front of CNN, but there must have been more. In the kitchen, the owner, who is also called Paula, is packing up breakfast: “My friends aren't in the mood to party. I'm humiliated, I'm really sorry“.
