Joe Biden supports the trust in Ballina

The Democratic Party candidate’s great-great-great-grandfather, Edward Blewitt, emigrated from the city over 160 years ago.

After the locals held a Ridin ‘with Biden column around Ballina last night, the locals were hoping for a new chapter in the US-Ireland connection today.

However, since the gap between candidates is much smaller than many expected, there is a generally deliberate outlook this afternoon.

People don’t count their chickens before they hatch, saying they are preparing to wait longer than expected for the result to be clear.

David O’Malley compared the sentiment to that of the county soccer fans’ familiar, and said Mayo supporters are knowledgeable about waiting for their preferred outcome.

He expressed concern about some of the comments Donald Trump made earlier today, joking that ten or twelve votes from Ballina residents living in the US could ultimately decide the competition.

Another local who went shopping this afternoon said the incumbent “messed up the apple cart like he always does.”

Jimmy Gorman said it was difficult to know how the results would play out but he still hoped Mr Biden would prevail as he was “better for America and better for Ireland”.

The Blewitt family of Knockmore have followed the twists and turns in this campaign a little closer than most.

Distant cousins ​​of the man who plans to be the 46th President of the United States, you keep your fingers crossed as the count continues.

Plumber Joe Blewitt, who decorated his van with Biden signage, says campaign headquarters in Delaware are constantly being notified of support from Northern Mayo.

He believes that Mr Biden may have to wait a few days for the final result to be clear.

Mr Blewitt’s children took the day off to enjoy the election campaign.

Her focus is on a possible trip to Washington for shopping … and maybe a visit to the White House.
