Joy Solomon is a retired businesswoman in Boca Raton, Florida, who voted for Donald Trump in 2016. But after watching the President's response to the coronavirus pandemic, she says she's voting for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden this time around.
"I'm going to tell you what turned me off the most. I was watching TV with the Covid, which I really think is a very serious thing, and I think he made it like it was no big deal," Solomon, 65, said.
