Voters in New Hampshire backing the former president say the economy is the key issue driving their support.

Miranda Blair didn’t vote for Donald Trump in 2016 because he scared her.

This week, she was wearing a bright red “Make America Great Again” hat as she waited in sub-freezing temperatures to hear him speak in Manchester, New Hampshire, as he rallied Republican voters to choose him as their nominee.

A lot happened in between to change Ms Blair’s thinking.

“Just a few years ago under Donald Trump, I felt like I could afford groceries and bring my girls skiing, and do all the things we wanted to do,” she said.

The 40-year-old sales manager voted for Barack Obama, a Democrat, in 2008 and found Mr Trump’s lack of political experience disqualifying in 2016. Disliking the options, she didn’t vote that year.

    Yeah because Trump deferred tax increases and other similar items to the following years to make his successors look bad and you fell for it, also combined with rich corporate assholes systemically price gouging our necessities, but yeah sure Donal Trump of all selfish greedy entitled people is going to make it all better. 👍

      Ask her why the same thing is happening globally, I’d love to see her brain run out her ear.
