2016 US Presidential Election
Budget cuts at Fuji TV led to less direct primary coverage in 2016, although I did cover the Trump campaign in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas before super Tuesday, candidate visits to New York, as well as remote general coverage throughout the primaries.
For the days leading up to election day, I was asked to produce more general interest election related content here in New York, leading up to the election night events held by both Secretary Clinton and Donald Trump in the city. Below is our report for Fuji TV's morning news program, Mezamashi TV, that aired the evening before election day. The highlight was our walk around Times Square and interview with Trump impersonator extraordinaire John DiDomenico. The report also includes supporters and protestors outside Trump Tower, the Naked Cowboy, and the Overthrow boxing gym's get out the vote effort.
