In Florida, first-time voter Davianna Porter, 20, tells CNN that she would like Donald Trump to win because she likes “what he stands for more.”

She said she is Puerto Rican and while she is not okay with the comments about Puerto Rico at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, she said, “everyone has opinions like, you know, if they don’t like Puerto Ricans, it hurts of course, but at the end of the day, I’m okay with who I am.”

“And at the end of the day, I want to be able to have a better life in the future,” Porter said.
