WASHINGTON Former Virginia GOP Sen. John Warner tells NBC News he is endorsing several Democrats for Congress in 2018, including Abigail Spanberger, who is challenging GOP Rep. Dave Brat in Virginias seventh congressional district.
Spanberger, a former CIA undercover operative, "impressed me" with her national security pedigree and the way she handled herself, said Warner.
"Once youre retired and doing what you want to do, youre free of any constraints," Warner said. "I just feel that the Democrats have got superior credentials to what is being offered."
"Its a very serious time for the country. I did not support Trump," he said, and "Im deeply troubled by the central issues. So much of my life has been devoted to the intelligence work and national security and Im just not comfortable with the way hes handling these national security issues," said Warner.
"He has no inner compass at all," Warner said of Trump. "Hes put a tremendous divide in this country."
