Staci White said she voted for President Trump because she wanted lower prices and to stop fentanyl from coming into the U.S.
Now, with widespread federal layoffs and expected cuts, she worries her family will lose their house if her partner is laid off from his government-adjacent job. At the dialysis unit where she works, staff have started doing drills for what to do if Immigration and Customs Enforcement comes to deport their patients, some of whom are in the country illegally.
“When we said safer borders, I thought he was thinking ‘let’s stop the drugs from coming into the country,’” she said. “I didn’t know he was going to start raiding places.” She said she didn’t believe he would actually follow through on some of the more hard-line policies he touted during the campaign.
“Now I’m like: ‘Dang, why didn’t I just pick Kamala?’” said the 49-year-old Omaha, Neb., resident, referring to the former vice president and last-minute Democratic nominee.

The WSJ is no better than AP or CNN.
The devastating splits that Trump has caused in the Republican party are irreparable! The Republicans will shatter into right wing, extreme right wing, ultra right wing, Reich wing and MAGA faction! This will prevent the Republicans from ever attaining power again! Woe unto the Republican party!
Or something like that....
WSJ going the way of WaPo.
Oh nose! Lol
How do we even know she actually VOTED for Trump, rather than claiming such.
Looks like the controlled-opposition RINOs at WSJ are worried about the gravy train derailing for them as well.
lol yes... They’re trying to divide and conquer
While I am sure there are some Trump voters who have been hit with the government layoffs and spending cuts and aren’t happy, the idea that Trump is losing major support is ludicrous on its face.
I have no doubt if you were sitting pretty in DC and being paid through something that’s been shutoff you probably are rethinking your vote if you were a Trump voter, but the idea that Trump is losing major voter support is just not there.
Polling shows his popularity is growing by the day.
SO, I am sure there are some who aren’t happy, to portray it as a massive change in views or bloodletting among his base is just not true.
I’m calling BS on this.
Looks like MAYBE Eliza found the one republican that got caught up in the Fed. Employee lay offs.
In fact, one way that can be found is to look at FEC records and see if she gave money. The 4 possibilities are:
1. No money
2. Harris/Biden only
3. Trump only
4. Harris/Biden & Trump
(3rd parties are meaningless)
If it’s not #3, then she should NOT be interviewed as she cannot prove her claim.
The only thing that is split, is Wall Street Journal is splitting hairs, and needs to really get serious about in depth investigating reporters. They need a dose of Natalie Winters.
The thing they don’t yet realize is that we don’t fall for these things anymore.
There is NO MSM media that aren’t controlled by Democrats,
remember that!
They’re trying to create a narrative. It was the same with all the Reddit/Social Media bots saying “aLl tHe tRUmp VOterS I KNOw rEGRet ThEIR vOTE!”
BS article. A few anecdotal examples does not a “splinter” make.
I’ll take “Things that never happened “ for $200 Alex
The Trump MAGA coalition is fracturing into Trump supporters who are ecstatic, Trump supporters who are merely overjoyed, a small plurality of voters who are just strong supporters, an even smaller plurality of supporters who are just strongly relieved and a wimpy minority who are collapsing due excessive winning fatigue.
Total BS. He told us and we believed him. Its what we want...
