In general, we're gonna be fine. Look. The sun comes up. One of the great things about our American democracy is we pass power peacefully so people don't get hurt. It's very different than much of the rest of the world. So that's an important thing for people to remember. But there are a lot of people hurting today, and we have to be supportive of them." Governor Green said. Many in Hawaii's Democratic Party were stunned by the overwhelming support for Republicans across the country. "Donald Trump won the election, and that is a reflection of people hurting on the mainland," Governor Green said. "A lot of people are not making ends meet. They are living with very little money in their savings accounts, and so they voted for some form of change. And in this case, Kamala was the incumbent, so the change hit her hard. It is pretty shocking." Kimo Alameda reacts to mayoral poll results When he was Lieutenant Governor prior to 2022, Governor Green worked with the Trump administration even during the pandemic. "All of these guys, you know, can be worked with, but we have to remember a couple things. One, we have to fight for our own values here in Hawaii. Our values of ohana, and aloha, are very, very important. We've always done better than most of the country. We'll keep doing that." Among the issues important to Hawaii's voters are abortion access, public education, and climate resiliency, which are policies that could come under heat under President Trump.

"On climate change, I think there probably will be a lot more oil drilling in America. There'll be a lot, more pressure to, move toward rather than towards renewables. We're focused on renewables for the most part, but we can use technologies. We can make a difference with, lower carbon, energy, I guess, I would say. We have to move towards hydrogen, and we can do those things, but there probably be will be less support for that from the federal government."
