The village of Thulasendrapuram in Tamil Nadu, known as the ancestral home of US Vice President Kamala Harris, is feeling a wave of disappointment as the 47th US presidential election draws to a close.&nbsp;

The village had been filled with hope, as many believed Kamala Harris might secure a win in the election.

Usha's family is originally from a village called Vadluru in the Andhra Pradesh state.

<h2>Mixed emotions among villagers</h2>

"Just now I watched the result of the US elections. It is a little disappointing for us. Anyway, I hope that Donald Trump will change (his ways) and will not govern like he did earlier. Last time, when Kamala won as the Vice Presidential candidate, we celebrated. This time we had planned to celebrate more. But we have to accept the mandate," said a resident of the village.

<h2>Hope&nbsp;for unity in the future</h2>

"If Donald Trump wins, I hope he is given the wisdom to lead us with unity. My hope is that he changes his ways and becomes the one who unites and not a divider. My expectations are different though. I think our country will be in chaos for the next four years," said Joy, a local villager.
