File this under "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."Source: AL.com, by Ivana Hrynkiw

She has served four terms in Congress.
She has served four terms in Congress.
In 2016, Roby said she wouldn't vote for Trump after the Access Hollywood tape was made public, where Trump talked about grabbing women's body parts.
She said in a statement, "As disappointed as I've been with his antics throughout this campaign, I thought supporting the nominee was the best thing for our country and our party. Now it is abundantly clear that the best thing for our country and our party is for Trump to step aside and allow a responsible, respectable Republican to lead the ticket," she said.
