Over 70 Republican former national security officials have supported Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in a provoking statement revealing the reason why they can’t vote for President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
The stinging statement was signed by 74 former officials who have all worked as Republicans in Congress or in GOP presidential administrations including some former Trump officials. They provided 10 reasons why they won’t be reelecting President Donald Trump, ranging from his comfortable relationship with dictators to the harm he’s done to America’s role on the world stage.
Former CIA Director Michael Hayden, former FBI Director William Webster and former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel are among the signatories.

“While we — like all Americans — had hoped that Donald Trump would govern wisely, he has disappointed millions of voters who put their faith in him and has demonstrated that he is dangerously unfit to serve another term,” they said in the statement.
“In contrast, we believe Joe Biden has the character, experience, and temperament to lead this nation,” the signatories added. “We believe he will restore the dignity of the presidency, bring Americans together, reassert America’s role as a global leader, and inspire our nation to live up to its ideals.”
The Republican advocacy organization Defending Democracy Together, which was co-founded by the anti-Trump conservative Bill Kristol, provided the statement on its website Friday and asked other former national security officials to sign.

Defending Democracy Together is also part of the groups Republicans for the Rule of Law and Republican Voters Against President Donald Trump, whose videos criticizing the president have speculated on social media.
It’s uncertain, however, whether their videos and those from other conservative anti-Trump groups like The Lincoln Project have any consequences on swing voters.
