Fil-Ams as divided as rest of US voters—PH envoy

Just like the rest of the American electorate, Filipino-American voters are divided in their support for presidential rivals Kamala Harris and Donald

Trump, according to Jose Manuel “Babe” Romualdez, the Philippine envoy to the United States.

The ambassador however said regardless of the election outcome, the country would continue to strengthen its foreign relations with the United States. He elaborated that this is why both candidates “have adopted various strategies” to garner support from this demographic, utilizing tactics such as “billboards and sending candidates of Filipino descent to participate in Filipino-organized events.”

Republican Trump has promised a “landslide” as he seeks a sensational return to the White House, while Democrat Harris said the “momentum” was on the side of her bid to be America’s first woman president. In a sign of how crucial Pennsylvania is to their chances of occupying the Oval Office, Trump and Harris will even hold dueling rallies in the industrial city of Pittsburgh.

Former president Trump has doubled down on his dark and violent rhetoric in his pursuit of a second term which would make him the first convicted felon and, at 78, the oldest major party candidate ever elected.
