Former Fresno County Supervisor and Action News political analyst Henry Perea said people he spoke to were concerned about another incident on Jan. 6.

“I think a lot of people are feeling good about, will there be a problem after the election or if someone loses, will they not accept the results, what’s that like?” Perea said. he said.

Conway and Perea say people are concerned about issues like women’s rights and immigration, but Conway says it’s the hole in their wallets that will drive people to the polls.

“I think people have really experienced this. Whether you’re a Republican, whether you’re a Democrat, whether you consider yourself a conservative or a liberal. I mean, go to the grocery store, it’s crazy. And it hurts everybody.” Conway.

Perea says concerns are growing about recent statements made at former President Trump’s rally.

“People are generally worried about this. It’s just about the tone of the campaign and how the candidates are behaving. More specifically, you know the Republican candidate. I think people are very worried about what this means, what it looks like, and what we actually want,” Perea said. “We want to represent it as a country,” he said.
