“The reason I ultimately voted for Ms. Harris was because I saw the concerns that Ms. Tucker expressed about the mental health crisis that could accompany a Trump victory. And, as you know, I don’t want to be in the media. I’m in charge of sales,” Leonardo said. “I’m in New York every other month. My girlfriend is a lawyer, and I get what you’re saying.

I’m not mad at them or anything like that.”
“But what I’m saying is, I think the resiliency of the people who voted for Trump will protect a lot of their jobs, but I don’t know if they can really deal with the state of lawyers and lawyers. ‘Doctors and accountants literally can’t function,’ he continued. “It hasn’t been like that for the past four years, but it might be this year.
