While Michigan is known as one of the top seven swing states in the upcoming election, Kent County is one of the most important. The county, which includes more than 6% of the state’s population, has traditionally been known as a conservative haven.

However, this trend has begun to reverse in recent years, starting when former President Barack Obama was able to capture the province in 2008. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, won the county during his presidential bid in 2012, while former President Donald Trump captured Kent County in 2016. It went back to the Democrats in 2020, when President Biden was able to capture this important part of Michigan.

This year, the race promises to be Kent County again, though some voters there remain unconvinced by the candidates.

“What struck me about Trump is that he hasn’t gotten us into wars,” said one undecided voter, before noting that he believed Vice President Kamala Harris’ position is “a lot clearer on LGBTQ rights.”

Immigration emerged as an issue for some voters in Kent County, with one telling Fox News Digital it was a human rights issue.

“People who have the right to be in our country and the right to health care,” said the voter, who indicated he was voting for Harris.

“Hopefully she can bring down housing costs and pretty much just inflation for young people like me,” he added. “Trying to buy a house, get loans, cars and things like that is very important for people my age.”

However, another voter disagreed on the economy and argued that Trump is the right candidate to lead the country forward.

“I believe that someone who has run a company and done business can do a better job than a lifelong politician when it comes to making decisions,” the voter said.

That voter also expressed support for Trump on foreign policy, arguing that he has earned the respect of world leaders.

“I don’t think he was afraid to stand up for what he thought was right,” he said. “I think other world leaders have taken note of that.”

Another voter, who said foreign policy was a key issue, disagreed.

“One candidate gets it and the other doesn’t,” the voter, who indicated his support for Harris, told Fox News Digital about why he is voting for Harris.

“She understands the importance of our position on the world stage, international politics and our national security. I don’t think Trump understands that,” the voter continued.

Still others had more difficulty choosing a candidate, largely because of the divisive nature of modern politics.

“One day I go one way and the next day I go the other way,” one undecided voter told Fox News Digital.

“It’s hard to take her seriously, there’s nothing that stands out about her,” she said of Harris, while also noting that he finds it “very hard to believe” that someone as wealthy as Trump “could care about people who have no money’. money.”

The voter also deducted points from Trump for the “tone of his voice.”

“I don’t really care about the swearing,” said the voter.
