In a recent video, several Cleveland women shared their reasons for supporting former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. Concerns about the economy and Harris's perceived lack of authenticity were among the reasons cited.
In a video shared on his YouTube account, former CNN host Don Lemon spoke with six Cleveland women of various races to gauge their feelings about the two presidential candidates. All but one of the women expressed their support for Trump, while the remaining woman stated that she did not plan to vote.
One woman explained her decision to vote for Trump, saying, "I feel like every time they don't want somebody who is good for us to win, they throw somebody Black in our face thinking that's gonna, like, make us vote for the Black person." She added, "I'm voting for Trump. Kamala was on Biden team, and I don’t like Biden. Gas wasn't this high when Trump was our president. Food wasn’t this high. I’m going for Trump."

Another woman echoed these sentiments, stating, "I voted for Obama because he was Black. I don’t want to vote for her because she’s the first Black woman to run for president or to win." She continued, "I’m supporting Trump…Because it has to change. It has to change. And now I vote more for what fits me better as a person rather than voting for the Black person or voting for the first woman."
A third woman expressed her regret for not supporting Trump in the past. "I used to be against Trump. I used to live in Virginia. I saw the bad side of it, but really, moving to Cleveland, I saw the other side of it," she said.

Several of the women also criticized Harris's mannerisms and authenticity. One woman described her as "phony and fake," while another took issue with her "giddiness" and perceived lack of seriousness.
In contrast, some of the women Lemon interviewed in Pittsburgh expressed their support for Harris. However, Lemon was surprised by the level of support for Trump among Atlantic City, New Jersey voters.

"Four years ago, it was a lot better. I made a lot more money than I do now," one New Jersey voter said.
The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
