We asked Americans living in Catalonia for their thoughts on the election. Here’s what they said.

With the verdict of the United States presidential election still up in the air, many American migrants living in Catalonia are following the dramatic counting on Wednesday with a mix of fear, rage, and hope.

Among Catalan News followers, support for Democratic candidate Joe Biden —and perhaps most importantly, distrust for the incumbent president, Donald Trump— is overwhelming. Almost 30 people reached out after we invited US citizens residing in Catalonia to share their thoughts on this crucial election; not a single one said they voted for the Republican candidate.

"We are very concerned about the future of our country because we have seen the erosion of our democracy and the rise of fascism happening so quickly over the four years of Trump's presidency,” said Conie Remick, from California, living in Canet de Mar with her husband.
