STREET BEAT: ‘Are you relieved that the election is over?’

Peggy May

Marina del Rey

“Yes, but truly disappointed by the results. … Democrats now have to put forth a strong effort in supporting things and make sure our voices are heard.” 

Juanita Douse

Hawthorne

“Thank God it is over. I am still a little stressed, but there’s nothing that we can do. We have to accept whatever it is.”

Lisa Weston

Los Angeles

“Yes, but I’m not happy. … I guess we aren’t ready for a Black woman to run the country. She was going to bring back the middle class, which we need.”

June Ward

Los Angeles

“I’m glad it’s over.  … In 1963, I was in high school when they killed the president. I didn’t want to see that happen again.”
