Election Day 7:55 p.m.

Rhonda Plate, a 67-year-old Oregonian, is waiting for this year’s election results at the Lane County Republican watch party. “I’d like to say he’s our next president,” said Plate.

Plate voted for Trump because of his stances on abortion, the border crisis, and his plan to lower food and housing prices. Plate would also like to see her home state of Oregon change for the better, she said. Homelessness and the fentanyl epidemic are large problems to tackle, but she believes Trump will have the best chance to do so. “He’s gonna have a full-time job.”
