Donald Trump’s swing through the Upper Midwest on Tuesday got plenty of local media coverage, but it also came with something the former president likely didn’t expect: a former supporter lashing out against him.

Republican Voters Against Trump launched a media blitz in Green Bay, Wisconsin and Grand Rapids, Michigan timed to his rallies in both cities. Viewers watching the former president’s events on TV there likely also saw a voter named Chuck deliver a warning.

“I am a former Trump supporter. I completely 100% hold him accountable for the insurrection at the Capitol,” Chuck said in the ad. “I will not ever support or vote for Donald Trump ever.” Chuck said he’ll vote Democrat over Trump. “I can’t believe I’m saying it, but I will,” he says. “I will vote for Joe Biden.”

Republican Voters Against Trump said the spot aired on TV locally ― including on Fox News during “Jesse Watters Tonight” and “Fox & Friends” ― and was shown digitally in the region during Trump’s visit.

1. What is needed is more republicans saying they'll vote for Biden ...

...rather than simply saying they won't vote for the felony factory.

It tells others that it's acceptable. Gives them cover.

5. Not looking good for Trump when he's losing Republicans in the Upper Midwest.

I would like to think it'll be a blow out but not counting my chicken yet.

I live in the NE part of Fla on the coast. Very RW Republican. I have to say, the past 2 elections I saw Trump posters on every street, houses with multiple Trump signs, lots of pick-ups driving around with Trump flags and posters. So far this year haven't seen one. It's still early, but...... hope it's a sign.

6. I have started believing those types of anecdotal reports myself

as it seems to show a sign, "on the ground", of "enthusiasm".

I remember back in 2016 where literally right across the NW Philly city border, the 45 signs were numerous - and that was in a county that was purple, going blue. By 2020, that was all gone although there were maybe a handful further out away from the city line in less populated parts of that county.

It's still early in the election season and the yard signs I see at the moment are "local" (PA primary is April 23), so hope the downward trend for the GOP continues!

7. I hope more people come out and saying to vote for freedom vote Biden.

A direct message like that is very effective.
