Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper has called his old boss, Donald Trump, a threat to democracy and declared he will not vote for him in November. So, it seemed natural for TV host Bill Maher to ask him in a recent interview if he would vote for President Joe Biden. 'I'm not there yet,' Esper replied. It's the kind of moment that might cause a hardcore Democrat to throw something at the TV.
The goal was to sway about 5% of Republicans who voted for Trump in 2016 to switch to Biden by having other Republicans deliver the message. We highlighted how dangerous a second Trump term would be, borrowing the John McCain line about putting “country over party.” This was not about getting them to like Biden or supporting his policies; it was about recognizing that this was a tough choice, but our country’s future was at stake.
