Former governor becomes latest high-profile Republican to back Biden



By Associated Press -September 3, 2020 5:04 PM

Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder says Trump is 'leading the charge on incivility.'

Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder backed Joe Biden for president on Thursday, becoming the latest high-profile Republican to support the Democratic nominee over Donald Trump.

"Donald Trump has actually been leading the charge on incivility. The divisiveness in our nation has not been worse in our lifetimes," Snyder told The Associated Press after he announced his decision in a USA Today op-ed. Biden, he said, is "a good, decent man. ... You can tell he's a person of character that cares. We need to heal our country."

In the op-ed, Snyder — who is known for staying positive — was uncharacteristically critical of Trump. He called him a "bully," saying it is "tragedy watching our world suffer from one." He said Trump lacks a moral compass, ignores the truth and does not appreciate public policy matters.

The announcement from Snyder, who served in battleground Michigan from 2011 through 2018, came in conjunction with the launch of Republicans and Independents for Biden, a coalition of nearly 100 former and current officeholders, government officials and political operatives. The group is affiliated and funded by the anti-Trump Lincoln Project PAC.
