Some former Trump supporters have shifted their allegiance, with the war in Iran being a key factor in this change, as reported by the Washington Post.

Amy Reese, a 42-year-old resident of Virginia, expressed concerns about the state of the economy, noting that her electricity bill reached $700 last month. She believes the $5,000 checks promised by Trump in the event of a Republican victory will not be enough to compensate for her financial difficulties. Despite this, she plans to vote Republican, stating she "will never vote for a Democrat."
