Join Chris Cuomo, Bill O’Reilly and more big-name guests on Wednesday for NewsNation’s CUOMO Town Hall with a live studio audience and virtual audience across America to discuss the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s administration. Wednesday at 8p/7C.

(NewsNation) — A lot has happened in the first 100 days of the Trump administration. While other networks and talking heads speculate from Washington, we’re heading back out on the road to communities across America.

In the four-part series “Drive the Vote” featured on “The Hill” and daytime shows, Brian Entin is meeting everyday Americans where they are, getting a peek into life 100 days into the new administration: What issues are driving their conversations, what they are celebrating, what they are frustrated by and what they are still hoping for.

On Monday, Entin revisited a Philadelphia barbershop to discuss voters’ thoughts on President Trump’s performance during his first 100 days in the White House.

“He’s protecting the border, I like how his policies are directed towards America first,” one man said. “The tariffs are very terrifying, but I see the necessity. It could backfire. It could be very, very bad. But risk is called risk. He’s a businessman. All business is risk.”

A barber told NewsNation the price of replacing clippers has increased by around 35%, but he refuses to place the cost on his customers.

When asked by NewsNation why many assume African-Americans don’t like Trump, a customer said he believes that is a media-made assumption.

“We all are hot and cold on different issues,” the man said. “I didn’t say I love him. I said that, you know, on certain issues, I’m in accord with him. I never loved every president… I mean, I didn’t love Barack Obama. Some things I like, some things I don’t like.”
