Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan has announced that he is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency.
Duncan, a lifelong Republican who had previously said he would be voting for President Joe Biden over Donald Trump in November, confirmed his support for the new presumptive 2024 Democratic nominee on social media and in an interview the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast.
Duncan was in office during the 2020 election and had pushed back on Trump's claims of fraud in Georgia. "The mountains of misinformation are not helping the process; they are only hurting it," Duncan told CNN in December 2020. "I voted for President Trump. I campaigned for him. And, unfortunately, he did not win the state of Georgia."
"I'm committed to beating Donald Trump. The only vehicle left for me to do that with is the Democratic Party. If that requires me to vote for, speak for, or endorse Kamala Harris then count me in," Duncan posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday.
"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," Duncan said.
"The GOP will never rebuild until we move on from the Trump era, leaving conservative (but not angry) Republicans like me no choice but to pull the lever for Biden."
"If we don't take our medicine here, it's our fault," Duncan said. "Every Republican in this country ought to hold Donald Trump accountable for this."
Nice, another never trumper.
