Former GOP governor of PA supports Biden

The former Republican governor of Pennsylvania is supporting Joe Biden for President, breaking with his party. Tom Ridge said he has never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate before, but that his long history of rejecting Donald Trump compels him to make this decision. He compared Trump to George W. Bush, who stood on the rubble of Ground Zero with a megaphone, uniting the country. Could Trump do such a thing, Ridge asks? Even if he could, he hasn’t––he has not gone to the CDC to rally the nation against COVID.

Two former GOP lawmakers endorsed Joe Biden for president, saying that Trump is “no Republican.”  And, a group 489 generals, admirals, national security officials from both parties signed a letter endorsing Biden and slamming Trump. These are only the latest military and national security experts to turn on Trump.

Trump aides are starting to weigh the pros and cons of speaking out against the Commander in Chief, and more and more of them are starting to think the pros outweigh the cons––even risking their careers.

Last week, a group of 106 bipartisan Arizona military vets have endorsed Joe Biden for president, a move meant to offset Mike Pence’s upcoming “Veterans for Trump” rally in that state.  After news broke that he called our war dead “suckers” and “losers,” and after he insulted evangelicals behind their backs, and after the Woodward tapes came out, Trump’s poll numbers are also falling.
