“Trump has shown us who he is. We should believe him. To think he is going to change at the age of 77 is beyond improbable… Unlike Trump, I’ve belonged to the GOP my entire life. This November, I am voting for a decent person I disagree with on policy over a criminal defendant without a moral compass,” writes former Georgia Lt Gov Geoff Duncan in an Atlanta Journal-Constitution op-ed.
The piece is headlined “Why I’m voting for Biden and other Republicans should, too,” lest there be any doubt who Duncan is talking about. It’s one thing for a prominent-ish conservative to undorse Trump and say they’re going to write someone in or whatever – hell, we have plenty of examples of that, even currently ones you might not have expected like that Indiana senator. Affirmatively endorsing Biden is certainly going much further and it’s too bad Duncan called it quits (when by all appearances he didn’t even actually have to) and handed his job over to a guy literally under criminal investigation for attempting to overturn the 2020 election. Still definitely at least a medium deal that Duncan would step up like this – especially in a swing state – and hopefully he’s not the highest ranking current or former elected Republican to do the same before November comes.
