Va. Republican voters, officials press for Harris over Trump

For Clint Taylor, for years the extent of his engagement in politics had just been filling in circles on ballots, he said. But now, he’s active in political advocacy, encouraging people to shift support from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump this year — despite having voted for Trump in 2016 himself.

Taylor decided to back President Joe Biden in 2020 and will support Vice President Kamala Harris this year, he said. It’s a move that some Virginia Republicans are making as they seek a candidate whose values align more closely with their own.

“There must be other Republicans like me out there that are uncomfortable with Trump,” Taylor said in a call. “I just want to tell them that you don’t have to vote for him.”

The Fairfax County lawyer also offered up a testimonial video for a campaign called Republican Voters Against Trump.

I've seen a few DU posts trying to pretend that trump's rightwing support is as strong as ever.

It isn't.

That's not bad given recent trends.
