Geoff Duncan, a Republican and former Georgia lieutenant governor, is actively encouraging swing state voters in his party to support Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. Duncan emphasized the importance of taking action and not sitting out this election, urging Republicans to vote for Harris as an act of patriotism.
Expressing his dissatisfaction with former President Donald Trump, Duncan referred to him as a 'boat anchor around Republicans' neck' and stated that Trump does not align with the values of the Republican party. He, along with other Republican officials supporting Harris, expressed embarrassment at Trump's actions and rhetoric, labeling him as a 'fraud' in various aspects.
Duncan's endorsement of Harris came after he delivered a speech at the Democratic National Convention in August, where he criticized Trump for attempting to overturn the 2020 election results and identified him as a 'direct threat to democracy.' Prior to Harris becoming the Democratic nominee, Duncan had intended to vote for President Joe Biden.
Through his public statements and advocacy for Harris, Duncan is making a final push to sway Republican voters who are disillusioned with Trump to cast their ballots for the Democratic ticket. His message emphasizes the importance of putting country over party and standing up for democratic values.
