Former Georgia Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan recently made headlines by announcing his decision to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. This comes after Duncan had previously endorsed President Joe Biden before suspending his reelection bid.
During an interview on AJC's 'Politically Georgia,' Duncan explained his reasoning behind his choice, stating that he is 'pot committed to beating Donald Trump.' He used a gambling term to illustrate that he sees no better option than to continue playing a losing hand in order to achieve his goal of defeating Trump.
Back in May, Duncan had penned an op-ed in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution where he declared his support for President Joe Biden. In the op-ed, he criticized Trump, stating that the former president had 'disqualified himself through his conduct and his character.'
Duncan's decision to support Democratic candidates despite his Republican background reflects his strong stance against Trump and his commitment to conservative principles. He emphasized that he has taken various actions to oppose Trump, including writing a book and participating in numerous media interviews.
By aligning himself with the Democratic Party in an effort to defeat Trump, Duncan is making a bold statement about his priorities and values. His willingness to break party lines underscores the deep divisions within the Republican Party and the broader political landscape.
As the election approaches, Duncan's endorsement of Vice President Harris adds an interesting twist to the political dynamics in Georgia and beyond. It will be intriguing to see how his decision influences other Republicans and shapes the outcome of the upcoming election.
