California Voters, Newsom React to Trump's Win

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : One voter who moved to California from New York this year -- Brandon Mach, 36, of Santa Rosa -- said the local measures and state propositions -- including those related to affordable housing -- were some of the most important ballot items.
51% : He said the public safety measure, Prop. 36 was a step too far.
40% : He also said Trump will be better equipped to manage the border and deal with adversarial governments -- like the Chinese Communist Party.
35% : Also stuck in the lengthy queue, Eric Check, 46, an agricultural equipment operator in Merced, told The Epoch Times that the economy was the issue that drove him to vote for Trump this year after skipping the 2020 election.
23% : "To be blunt, I'd rather see Trump just go away," Mach said.
20% : A second-time voter expressed disappointment with the outcome -- lamenting the loss of Vice President Kamala Harris to Trump -- and said the nation and the state could be impacted by voters' choices.
