I feel this takes some of the energy from the title. Better to have some ex Republicans supporting Biden rather than none of them, but I definitely would have wished it was someone actively in office.
Great quote from Duncan though:
Unlike Trump, I’ve belonged to the GOP my entire life. This November, I am voting for a decent person I disagree with on policy over a criminal defendant without a moral compass
It would be political Suicide for an active republican. Even if only 10% of Republicans jump ship because of that comment that's enough to never get you elected again. In reality it is likely a lot more than 10%.
It could be actual suicide as well... many GOP party adjuncts and elected officials have been receiving death threats for not falling exactly in line with even Trump's most vaguest of whims.
