It’s refreshing to see older lifelong republicans who didn’t believe the media and voted for Trump out of inertia, but are ditching him now that he’s repeatedly proven himself to be a scumbag. Better late than never!

He will face the incumbent President Joe Biden in November and polls have so far shown that the results of the 2020 White House rematch will be tight, with the pair statistically tied or holding only marginal leads in a number of surveys.
Speaking to Newsweek, Mark Shanahan, an expert in American politics at the University of Surrey in the U.K., suggested Trump's recent conviction in his hush money case may be to blame for him losing support in the state.
On May 30, Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 hush-money payment made to former adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
"It would seem that there is cut-through with them on Trump, both with regards to his ongoing refusal to accept the 2020 presidential election result, and his 34 recent felony convictions in the New York court."
William F. Hall, adjunct professor of political science and business at Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri, told Newsweek older voters were disillusioned by Trump's public and personal behavior.
He continued: "I believe that these two issues, unlike perhaps in the past, especially as the election date becomes nearer, are now beginning to weigh negatively much more heavily, particularly on the minds of older voters."
