In bright blue King County, these Trump voters are feeling good

In this month's presidential election, every state moved to the political right. Washington did, too — a little bit. Here in bright blue King County, about a quarter million people voted for President-elect Donald Trump, according to polling data.

So, how are they feeling about the big win?

Ibrahim Aljalal loves Donald Trump. So much so that his profile photo on all of his social media accounts is a picture of the president-elect.

"I'm so happy,” Aljalal said inside his Kent barbershop, Golden Scissors. "I put his picture on my Facebook. I put his picture on my Twitter. I put his picture with TikTok."

Aljalal is married with kids, and the wallpaper on his phone is Trump's face. He stops cutting a customer's hair to show off all of his favorite pictures of the 45th president on his phone.

Originally from Iraq, Aljalal said he voted for Trump because he thinks he's a strong leader who puts America's interests first. The presidency is like taking care of a family, Aljalal said.

"First, my family. First, my kids. First, my people. That's why with Trump, America first,” he said, pointing to an American flag hanging in one corner of the barbershop. "That flag first. American flag first."

Sitting in the barber chair was 28-year-old Abdul Faqirzada.

"I'm happy that he was elected," Faqirzada said. "But I don't know what he will do about my country, Afghanistan. You know, because in the Biden administration, all the U.S. forces withdraw [from] Afghanistan with a big tragedy."

Faqirzada came to the U.S. alone when he was 22. He still has family back in Afghanistan, who he worries about with the Taliban in control.

"My father was an officer in the army of Afghanistan that helped U.S. army. He worked beside U.S. army, and I lost him," he said. "Yeah, I lost him. That is a big tragedy for me, for my family."

There are lot of voters like Aljalal and Faqirzada who feel excited about Trump returning to the Oval Office. At this barbershop, at the bowling alley down the street, the Eagles Club, grocery store parking lots —almost everyone shared the same reason for why they chose Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris: the economy.

"Donald, give us a little break on the tax. Give us an incentive that will be outstanding," said Wendy Hughes, who was running into a Mexican market before a Seahawks game on Sunday.

"We're gonna have a fair president, and he's gonna clean our borders," Hughes said. "That's the most important thing."

Linda was also grocery shopping on Sunday. She didn't want to share her full name out of concern she might be targeted for her vote.

"I am feeling great. I think the best person won," she said. "He's going to straighten us back out, hopefully get prices on gas and food down, close up the border."

Linda said she voted for Trump in the last two elections, too, but that doesn't mean she wouldn’t vote for a Democrat if the right candidate came along.

"If we had had a strong woman candidate," Linda said, “I probably would have voted, regardless of what party she was with. But Kamala? No."

Across the parking lot, 50-year-old Jessie Ramsey was striding between cars with a big smile on.

"I feel great, actually. I feel like America made the right choice," Ramsey said. "And obviously, 74 and a half million people agree with me. So, I'm really looking forward to what's coming. I really am."

Ramsey also said the economy and illegal immigration were his top reasons for supporting Trump.

But when the mic was off, some people made fun of Harris personally.

Someone called her a "giggling idiot." Someone at a bar joked the vice president is the secret love child of former President Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey. These sentiments echo things Trump and his surrogates said on the campaign trail.

Still, those comments were in the minority. The key issue was inflation and rising costs. Most people said prices are unchecked and need to be brought under control.

Ramsey said he’s really not that much different from Democrats in King County.

"Because at the end of the day, we're all here to make this country better," he said, looking around at all of the other shoppers. "Being a Republican in the Democrat state, yeah, I get it. I'm in a minority here, but my big thing is moving this country forward. That's all I care about."
