Ray LaHood backs Biden for president.. GOP

Last edited Wed Jan 15, 2020, 08:44 PM - Edit history (1)

Former U.S. Transportation Secretary and former Republican Rep. Ray LaHood (Ill.) reportedly said he is backing former Vice President Joe Biden in the presidential race.

LaHood told The State Journal-Register he would “absolutely not” vote for President Trump, adding that he’s backing Biden.

He said Trump is not his “kind of politician” and called out the president for “the way he disparages people.”

“I have met every president since Nixon,” LaHood told The State Journal-Register. “Although I haven’t agreed with every one of them on every issue, each one of those people, except for Nixon, distinguished themselves in a way that made our country proud. ... And this president has not done that.”

Ray Lahood served as a House Republican from 1995 to 2009. He later served under former President Barack Obama, a Democrat, as transportation secretary from 2009 to 2013.

President Obama made Ray LaHood the Secretary of Transportation.

Serving directly for the great President Obama and now he lives with a trump presidency.

He’s a lone voice from the wilderness of real republicans.

Don't know him that well,,no comment...all I know served under Obama...for a while

Never Trump Republicans who would show up to vote for Biden but would stay home for other Ds. Also, a number of tentative trump supporters, the ones who were on the fence last time would be more likely to stay home this time instead of turnout.
