00:00I support Donald Trump.

00:07The reason being is that the fact that he embraces Christianity makes me want to like

00:13vote for him as if I'm a citizen over there.

00:17I support Kamala Harris because I think she's suitable for the presidential role and she's

00:23black herself.

00:25She doesn't support racism.

00:27I think Trump is a bit too dangerous for this world.

00:30Kamala Harris is better for Africa because we know more denations will come towards her.

00:36Personally, I support Trump.

00:38The reason being is that according to him, he supports racism.

00:42He can't support all the American people.

00:45In my humble opinion, I don't think Kamala should be president of the United States.

00:50It should be Trump because of his policies for Africa.

00:54I don't have a preference for Kamala.

00:56I know that regardless of whether she wins or loses, nothing will change for me as a young African black woman.

01:03I'm worse with Trump!

01:05I am leaning towards Trump's administration rather than Harris.

01:08I do want the Trump administration to win because I don't believe American hands should be involved in Africa.

01:13I genuinely believe whatever the U.S. president is going to be, after the election, it would have a great impact.

01:20Let me go for Kamala. It's Kamala Harris.

01:24Personally, I just don't like Donald Trump.

01:26He looks very childish from what I've seen on politics.

01:31Let me go for the woman.

01:33Women would rule the world, yeah.

01:36My choice, I'd say Trump.

01:39Yeah, I'd say Trump.

01:41Mainly because I'm looking at decisions on corporate taxes.

01:48I've heard him say, do you want to reduce corporate taxes?

01:52Between the two candidates, I would like to see Donald Trump again come to be elected as the president of the United States.

01:59Because, of course, his speech according to different prices.

02:04Personally, I'm for female leadership.

02:08Kamala Harris has just introduced herself.

02:13I can't wait to see what she's going to say in her press release.

02:18And how she plans to defend female leadership.

02:21It's not a question of choice, but we'd like to see a woman run the United States for the first time in history.

02:26Why not Kamala Harris?

02:28I'd say Trump.

02:30Because he came with a pretty clear policy.

02:33You have to know that the United States also needs Africa.

02:37And I think that if there are elections today, if there are quacks today, it will have a strong impact on Africa.
