Ex-Michigan GOP Leader Says He'll Vote For Kamala Harris
HuffPost
Donald Trump and his allies “have done grave damage to the Republican Party,” Gary Reed wrote in a letter to the editor Tuesday.
Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has a new bipartisan ally in Michigan, a closely watched battleground state, after a former boss of the state’s Republican Party said he would vote for her, while another has outlined why Michiganders should reject GOP nominee Donald Trump.
Gary Reed, former executive director of the Michigan Republican Party, said he’ll vote for Harris for president because “Trump and his allies have done grave damage to the Republican Party ― both in Michigan and nationally.”
“If we ever want our Republican Party back, it has to start with Donald Trump losing on Nov. 5,” Reed wrote Tuesday in a letter to the editor in the Lansing City Pulse. “That’s why I’m voting for Kamala Harris.”
Elsewhere, Rusty Hills, a former Michigan GOP chair, made the case for why Trump is inferior to other former Republican presidential candidates, in an op-ed titled “Trump’s no Gerald Ford. He’s not even George W. Bush.”
Ford, who died in 2006, was the only politician from Michigan ever to serve as U.S. president.
