During Thanksgiving feast, some keep politics off the table

As US citizens prepared to gather on Thursday for Thanksgiving turkey, football and togetherness, many planned to avoid talk of the rancorous election between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Sitting on their suitcases at a departure lounge at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Sharyn Ioffe and her brother Saul Ioffe said there's a good chance politics will intervene this Thanksgiving when they arrive home in New York.

"I'm pretty anxious about it," said Sharyn Ioffe, 27, who supported Clinton, while others in her family sided with Trump. "I'm still very emotional about the election. I know you have to try and understand the other side. But I'm not there yet."
