I Talked to Suburban New Yorkers. They Think the Country Is in Trouble. | NYT Opinion

With the U.S. midterm elections less than four months away, Times Opinion wants to know from voters across the country: How is your America doing? Mara Gay, an Opinion writer for The New York Times, traveled to the Hudson Valley — the suburbs north of New York City — to hear what voters are thinking, feeling and worried about as the election approaches. She spoke with small-business owners, single mothers, college students and others about what they want to change in their communities and the country, how they’re navigating inflation and how they feel about the Democratic Party, Donald Trump and the direction of America.
