NEW MEXICO – Despite voting for Kamala Harris, Amber Morales, 32, considers herself a moderate and encouraged voters to keep an open mind when evaluating all presidential candidates.

Morales, a landscape architect and planner from Boise, Idaho – a reliable Republican stronghold that Trump won with 63.9% of the vote in 2020 – said it’s not uncommon to get caught up in the polarized state of politics, but she hopes politicians will learn how to come together to address the important core issues.
