Vad som oroar republikaner relaterat till Trump.
Några röster.
"Some of the participants voted for Trump during his 2016 or 2020 campaigns, or both, before deciding they can no longer support him."
Ang Republican voters against Trump så investerar kampanjen $50 miljoner i idigitala annonser med fokus på svänstster som Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania och Wisconsin.
Varför?
Clint Taylor, Fairfax County lawyer och aktiv i politiken och röstade Trump 2016, är oroad över vilken riktning partiet tagit och via det Trump visat upp.
Han ser sig som republikan men;
"More than policy, he is concerned about Trump’s temperament as a national leader and his influence within the Republican party."
Två händelser fick Taylor att reagera kraftigt.
Det ena var när Trump betecknade Nazi och vit överhöghet i den våldsamma marschen i
Charlottesville och kallade dem “very fine people”.
Det andra var stormningen av Kapitolium som följde Trumps vägran att acceptera valet 2020.
Att Trump tog högerextremas parti igen vill säga.
“I couldn’t believe that this man said that,” he said in his video. “It still gets me riled up today that he would defend those torch-wielding Nazis.”
Trumps förhållningssätt till auktoritärt ledarskap i andra länder är också en starkt oroväckande faktor anser Taylor.
Greg Hawley, militär veteran och fd lärare tar upp Project 2025.
“The writings are on the wall,” he said of the foundation’s presidential playbook, “Project 2025,” and of actions Trump has already taken that align with some of it.
Hawley points to how Trump’s U.S. Supreme Court picks stemmed from Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society recommendations — all of whom upheld Roe v. Wade as federal law during confirmations hearings before ultimately ruling to undo the federal abortion protections. "
Ett annat orosmoln är Trumps uttalande “in four years, [they] won’t have to vote again.”
Hawley said that moments like that are where he believes Trump has “let it slip” that he would move towards a more “strong arm government.”
Barbara Comstock:
" Former Republican 10th District Rep. Barbara Comstock said in an interview earlier this month that she will be voting for Harris and former 5th District Rep. Denver Riggleman hosted a campaign event at his distillery.
“After Jan. 6, after Donald Trump has refused for four years to acknowledge that he lost, and his threats against democracy, I think it’s important to turn the page,” Comstock said. "
Denver Riggleman:
“What it comes down to is the moral depravity of that man — what he’s done against our democratic institutions".
“But also his treatment of women, his treatment of immigrants, and what he says about them, his words about military veterans.
You get that feeling that this is just a narcissist who only cares about himself.”
"This doesn’t mean he always agrees with Democrats on policy, he said, but “at least they don’t want to overturn our Democratic institutions.”
