NEW YORK – As the Times Square crowd thins out, leaving only a crowd of Trump supporters and a few stragglers, Murad Prince stands with his friends to continue watching race results being called. An information technology specialist from New Jersey, Prince – who wears an American flag in his shirt pocket and sports an “I Voted” sticker to its left – said he supported Joe Biden in the last election but Donald Trump in this one.

He added that he advocates for the evaluation of each candidate based on their own merits as opposed to party affiliation.
