Vermont’s Republican Governor Phil Scott told reporters he defended the Constitution by voting for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, breaking with the Republican Party and its nominee, Donald Trump, Vermont Public Media reported.
“I did some soul searching and thought about a lot of different things — what would benefit Vermont, what I needed to do myself — and came to the conclusion that I had to put country over party, and do the same thing that I did four years ago when I voted for Joe Biden, and vote for Kamala Harris,” Scott said, virtually assuring a nuclear test on his state if Trump should somehow get back into office.
Scott previously announced that he would not vote for Trump, but he did not commit to voting for any other candidate, let alone the Democratic rival.
