US presidential race highlights deep voter divisions over the country's future

The 2024 U.S. presidential election is marked by deep divisions among voters, with many believing the outcome will significantly impact the country's future. This sentiment is particularly strong in Charlottesville, Virginia, a site of past racial violence. Voters express varied views shaped by personal experiences. Some, like racial justice activist Jalane Schmidt, see a return of Donald Trump as a threat to democracy. Others, including Susan Bro, whose daughter was killed during a protest, fear the consequences of Trump's potential victory. Young voters from immigrant backgrounds also reflect this divide. Kushaan Soodan emphasizes the election's importance for democracy, while Arturo Romero supports Trump, citing concerns about crime and economic stability.
