Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R) will be supporting Vice President Harris in November after previously saying he would back President Biden. Duncan endorsed Harris in an interview on The Atlanta Journal-Constitutions Politically Georgia podcast that aired Wednesday. He has been a staunch critic of former President Trump and revealed in May that he would be supporting Biden instead of the former president for the White House.
He was asked on the podcast whether he has or will be endorsing Harris. He said after Bidens poor showing at the debate last month, he thought the Democratic Party would do the right thing and have Biden step aside and let somebody else step up.
And so that obviously looks to be Vice President Harris, and look, if shes the nominee, yeah, lets do this, he said on the podcast. Lets beat Donald Trump the best possible way we can. If that takes me endorsing her, if that takes me voting for her, if that takes me speaking at a convention, so be it.
Duncan emphasized that Harris must engage with voters who are undecided to have a chance at defeating Trump. If Donald Trump wins the hearts and minds of the majority of the 10 percent in the middle and Kamala Harris doesnt, then hes going to be the next president, Duncan said. And then weve got real issues on our hands as Republicans.
