In Battleground Georgia, Voters Demand Solutions to Inflation, Key Issues

With about 60 days remaining until the election, Trump and Harris are ramping up their efforts to connect with voters in the key swing state.

Jon Domanick, a 49-year-old math teacher at a public high school in Savannah, Georgia, describes himself as a โ€œtruly independentโ€ voter, as he doesnโ€™t follow party lines when voting.

โ€œI registered as independent. I voted Democrat in the past,โ€ he told The Epoch Times.

This year, however, he leans toward former President Donald Trump, the Republican nomineeโ€”a notable shift from 2020 when he wrote in Tulsi Gabbard, formerly a Democrat congresswoman, as his preferred candidate.

Yet Domanick remains cautious. Before casting his vote this year, he wants to hear Trumpโ€™s plan for tackling inflation, which he said is a key issue for many Americans.

Neither Trump nor the Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, according to Domanick, has provided a concrete plan for achieving his or her campaign promises.

โ€œThey say what theyโ€™re going to do. They donโ€™t say how theyโ€™re going to do it,โ€ he said.

โ€œI think the No. 1 thing I would need to hear from Trump is gas prices. Thatโ€™s where we got to start.โ€

โ€œDrill, baby, drill,โ€ Domanick said, referencing a 2008 Republican campaign slogan frequently echoed by Trump in recent years.

Lower gas prices, according to the math teacher, would lower transportation costs and, ultimately, reduce prices on store shelves.

Domanick said he worries that the country is headed in the wrong direction, especially when he thinks about the future of his two high school-aged daughters.

โ€œJust think about college education. What Iโ€™m going to have to pay for them is going to be six figures in some cases, if I want them to go to a decent school,โ€ he said.

โ€œIโ€™m a math teacher, so I know all about compound interest,โ€ he said, noting his concern about predatory student loans.

He is not opposed to student loan forgiveness. However, he said he believes the government shouldnโ€™t be selective in forgiving student debt based on political motivations. There needs to be a stronger and fair plan for families burdened by large school loans, he said.
