Jim Smith: 'I'm a Biden Republican'

Another major figure in Florida Republican politics — former Attorney General and former Secretary of State Jim Smith — is coming out with his support for Joe Biden and opposition to President Donald Trump.

“I’m a Republican today, I’ll be a Republican tomorrow, but in 2020 I’m a Biden Republican,” Smith declares in a new independent video produced by Democratic consultant Kevin Cate and released Friday afternoon. “I’m very proud to be Republican, but there are times when you have to put your country ahead of politics, and that is why I have voted for Joe Biden to be the President.”

The video was released on Twitter.

“He brings high-energy to the office. He brings decency to the office. And he has a real plan to end the coronavirus,” Smith added.

I am finding quite a few of them nowadays, especially down here in Broward. To name just a couple: I have a friend I went to college with (old school repub) who is so disgusted by trump's racism and bullying that she is voting for Biden and I have an elderly trumpish neighbor (Vet) who is so disgusted with his mishandling of Covid and refusal to confront Putin that he too is voting for Biden. Biden Republicans are really a thing.
