"For generations, the Grand Rapids area was synonymous with the Republican Party. Gerald Ford, whose presidential museum sits along the banks of the Grand River, represented West Michigan in Congress before ascending to the Oval Office in 1974.

But Trump’s remaking of the party has tested that West Michigan brand of conservatism.....

But after Donald Trump became the face of the party, Ingebretson, who lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, drifted away from his political roots. In 2020, he voted for President Joe Biden. And in February, he was among the 34% of voters in his county who cast ballots for Nikki Haley in the Republican primary, even though her presidential campaign seemed doomed before the Michigan election.

With a Trump-Biden rematch locked in for November, Ingebretson, 66, expects to vote again for Biden, though he grades the incumbent’s job performance as just a C. He said he approved of Biden’s vision for America as “a beacon” in the world, but not his student loan forgiveness and pandemic-era stimulus spending.

Edit to add my commentary... There is a whole lot of traditional republicans who are as stymied by the Trumplicans as we are.
