Good for Ralph Newbanks from Solon!
Ralph Newbanks, a 63-year-old poll respondent from Solon, said he is a lifelong Republican who plans to vote for Harris this year.
It's not what I like about her, it's what I dislike about Trump, he said. Since 2020 and the Capitol riots, I couldn't vote for Trump if he paid me, not for love nor money.
He thought about casting a ballot for a third-party candidate, but he didnt want to lodge a protest vote. He wants to make sure Trump doesnt return to the White House.
To me, the biggest part of democracy is the ability to compromise, he said. And with Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, there is no compromise, even within their own party.

According to Ann Selzer, women (white) are responsible for this, especially those over 65 who vote in greater numbers...
