Republican Mayor Drops Donald Trump for Joe Biden in Key Swing State of Michigan
By Jeffery Martin On 3/9/20 at 9:21 PM EDT


With Tuesday's Democratic primaries hours away, former Vice President Joe Biden has found an unexpected supporter in Sterling Heights, Michigan Mayor Michael Taylor, a Republican.

"Since announcing my endorsement of Joe Biden I have received an outpouring of encouraging messages and believe even more strongly that Joe Biden is the candidate who can defeat Donald Trump in Macomb County and the State of Michigan," Taylor said in a statement to Newsweek on Monday.

While Taylor, a life-long Republican, voted for President Donald Trump in 2016, he said he would cast his ballot for Biden this year because Trump is "deranged."

"I think Joe Biden is the candidate who can unify all of the Democrats and he's the candidate who can appeal to moderates and Republicans like me who don't want to see four more years of President Trump," Taylor said, according to the Chicago Tribune on Monday

In the last week I have heard things I never expected to hear from hard core Trumpers and I do not seek them out.

I'm sure we will be seeing more of this. The American people are seeing more of just how sick and mentally disable he is. All he gives a damn about is himself and making money off of the American people. Let's sit his fat can packing.

Our PA primary isn't until the end of April, so nobody is noticing yet. But Michigan is another important swing state and what's happening there is going on everywhere. The intelligent Republicans will not vote for Chump, they'll either switch parties (in the general election) or they'll just refrain from voting.

It's already happening now.

his area shows it potentially being bad for him to keep on supporting to Trump.
