Election Day 2:00 p.m.

At Bushnell University, a private Christian university in Eugene, Oregon, students attended classes while voters across the country submitted their ballots. On campus, students held an array of opinions on the outcome of the election, sharing concerns for the country’s future.

Caleb Burke, a student at Bushnell, says he’s excited to see who wins. Although he feels the election results won’t affect him personally, he hopes for a Trump victory.

“I’m more worried about Kamala than Trump,” Burke said as he rocked in thought. “I’ve heard her lie in interviews, so I don’t like that.”

Another student on Bushnell’s campus, Antonio Gonzalez, thought Trump would win until this past week, when he noticed the election polls were closer than he had assumed. Despite this, he didn’t vote because he doesn’t feel too interested in politics.

“I just want America to be good,” Gonzalez said as he clutched the crucifix dangling from his neck.

Mikiah Southmayd, a barista at Beacon Beanery Cafe on Bushnell’s campus, thinks the election results will be close. She believes there will be backlash no matter the result because she feels both sides are really passionate about the election. However, she wants that passion to develop into love for each other, no matter the party affiliation.

“It does matter who becomes president, but at the end of the day, we are called to love our neighbors, and it just gives us more of an opportunity to share the love of Christ,” Southmayd said, fingering her cross necklace. “Jesus is on the throne either way.”
